Reproduce DOS 'tree' command to a real directory structure

Hi guys,
I have the output of a DOS 'tree' command (small example below). And I'm trying to reproduce the output of this command (directories and files) as another directory structure, I've tried several different things with no real luck. My biggest problem is that I'm unable to get the logic down to correctly nest directories. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to give me any code examples to help me out, it's a long shot as what I'm doing is pretty abstract, but any advice or code would be a great help.
Thanks, aqzman

You need to read the group of directories and files in a recursive manner. If what you read is a directory, create that as a new directory where you are creating the new entries. If you read a file, then copy that file to the new directory you created.
To get more information on recursive programming, use Google to search for explanations and examples.
This tutorial has explanations and examples of reading directory entries and files, and creating directories and copying files.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/index.html]
Also read the File class API, as you will use the methods it provides.

Real directory name of a file path?

How do I find the normalized directory name of a path?
For example, when you cd to a directory you get what ever was in the cd command, not the real directory name.

My results from /bin/pwd are different.
Found out about the -P option to pwd command. There is also the set -P which effects the pwd result. see man pwd and help pwd and help set
something so simple is so complicated.
Thanks for the function. Pointed out a bug in the script I am working on. I am not checking the user passed me a directory path. Could be a file.

B Installing 9 brings up DOS SETUP command window then fails

Installing 9 starts and then a DOS SETUP command box appears, asking to insert Disk 1 DOS Install floppy in drive a: It then fails to do the 9 install, no matter what I do. It simply fails ! I tried installing in SAFE MODE, but still does the same thing. Cannot get any help on this from several XP forums, or from Microsoft. Any ideas ?

Errol, you've asked this question several times without getting a
response - presumably because nobody can fathom your setup.
If the PATH command in your boot sequence points to a directory
containing a 'setup.exe', it looks like the installer picks that one
instead of the right one. Try temporarily renaming the wrong
setup.exe or modifying PATH to force the installer to look in the
right place.

Tree command in terminal

hi there... I wonder is there any command in Mac OS X' terminal that is equivalent to "tree" command in linux? thanx

You could install fink and install tree-

How to create a tree based on directory structure

I want to create a hierarchical tree in Forms 6i based upon a file system directory structure (similar to Windows Explorer). How can I populate a tree with this information, is there something that I can call or write that would return the file system structure in a format that I can populate my tree?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Export images to a directory structure based on a collection tree?

A question:
Will lightroom have the capability to export images to a directory structure which mirrors a collections logical structure?
The reason I ask this is that when I create websites using third party tools (eg, Jalbum) I typically generate a flash or HTML based site with an menu structure for navigating the images.
So, the image interface is not simply a "flat-file" display as per the templates in Lightroom beta.
To do this, with previous image management tools (eg, iMatch) I create a hierarchy of images based on the categories (or collections) that the images are assigned to, export the images in a folder tree reflecting their categories (or collection), then use, say, Jalbum, to generate the website with the menu tree reflecting the folders/images.
This is extremely useful for more complicated image websites with categories and a large no of images.
If this function was built into Lightroom I guess it would be in the export function such that the "write to folder" box could take an argument {collection name} which would create a folder tree reflecting the collections logical tree which is being exported.
Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. But this function is extremely useful if you are using third party html tools or simply building websites by hand.
Regards
Alistair

I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
This would be much appreciated feature in near future
Thank you for great product by the way

Hana db filesystem directory structure and process command line

Hi experts,
Could someone provide please actual directory structure of Hana db filesystem?
Generally speaking, I need to model some Hana db(of 1.0, 1.5 versions) entities. Among them:
Schemas
Data files
Log files
Important configuration files
Database parameters(guess found in config files and command line)
Database version
The question is where i can find such information having access to filesystem?
One another question is how common Hana db commandline looks like?
Does it have one process or several?
It would be perfect if someone give some ps -aef command result grepped with relevant Hana Db processes
Thanks,
Eugene

Executing dos TYPE command Failure

I am trying to execute the dos TYPE command from within Java. But I would like the output to go to a file, not to the screen. The following program sends the output to the screen, but not to the specified file. Why?
It does actually create the file I want but it is empty.
import java.io.*;
class ExecuteCommand
     public static void main(String[] a) throws IOException
     Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rt.exec("cmd /c start type d:\\java\\billing\\test66.java>d:\\java\\billing\\outputFile.txt");

Populating MX:Tree with Directory Structure using PHP

Hello,
I have written the following php function to return the directory structure :
     public function get_dir_iterative()
          $dir = 'data';
          $exclude = array( 'cgi-bin', '.', '..' );
          $folders = '<?xml version="1.0"?>';
          $folders .= "<node label='Root' path=\"data\">";
          //$folders .= $this->getFolderRecuring("data");
          $exclude = array_flip($exclude);
          $dh = opendir($dir);
          //$stack = array($dh);
          //$level = 0;
                    //closedir(array_shift($stack));
          while(count($stack))
               if(false !== ( $file = readdir( $stack[0] ) ) )
                    if(!isset($exclude[$file]))
                         if(is_dir($dir . '/' . $file))
                              $dh = opendir($dir . '/' . $file);
                              if($dh)
                                   $folders .= "<node label=\"$file\" path=\"$dir/\" isBranch=\"true\" />";
                                   array_unshift($stack, $dh);
                                   ++$level;
                         else
                              $folders .= "<node label=\"$file\" path=\"$dir/\">";
               else
                    closedir(array_shift($stack));
                    --$level;
          $folders .= "</node>";
          return $folders;
When I test this function manually it returns the proper structure.
But when I call it with help of ZendAMF there is nothing returned and the sandclock is spinning infinite ?!
here is the flex part:
private var fms:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
protected function initFileManagerService():void
     fms.destination ='zend';
     fms.source='FileManagerService';
     fms.showBusyCursor=true;
     fms.addEventListener( FaultEvent.FAULT, faultListener);
     fms.get_dir_iterative.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT, load_result );
     trace('FileManagerService initialized');
public function load():void
     fms.get_dir_iterative();
     trace('Service / load');
     private function load_result( e:ResultEvent ):void
          trace('result:'+e.result)
My zend setup is working, any idea what could be wrong ?

>if you comment out the php and just return "hello" do you get it back in flex?
Jip, thats working
>is this line right?>fms.get_dir_iterative.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT, load_result );
Yes it is correct, thats the way you listen for a result of a specific function when using the zend framework.
I have other projects running very good like this.

Directory structure for a J2SE+J2EE project: suggestions are very welcome

Hi, I have to start coding and organizing the CVS tree of an already mature project which is J2SE. This J2SE project can be described as a "core engine" for something else, and is a quite large project, and up to now has only a command line User Interface. I organized the dir structure as this:
/build.xml
/src/
/src/java/<package>/...../*.java
/src/demo/<package/...../*.java
/src/test/<package>/....../*.java
when I ant compile, all the .classes will be done in the "build" directory (reflecting the structure in the "src" dir):
/build/
/build/java/<package>/....../*.class
/build/demo/<package/...../*.class
/build/test/<package>/..../*.class
I am happy with this, but now comes the issue: a web interface to use this core engine (it will have the same package namespace) is in developing progess, so I have to put somewhere the *.jsp, the WEB-INF dir with web.xml and servlet sources: how would you do this? And where would you let Ant put the compiled servlet classes?
I can modify the previous directory structure to accomodate the J2EE part, this is really not a problem!
Thanks to who can suggest me a clean solution
Alessio

Create a web-inf folder at the same level of src and
jsp folder inside src
i mean
/build.xml
/src/
/src/java/<package>/...../*.java
/src/demo/<package/...../*.java
/src/test/<package>/....../*.java
/src/jsp
/web-infSo, would you put in /src/jsp only the *.jsp?
And what in /WEB-INF ? What woud you put there? Would you do something like:
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/src/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
/WEB-INF/classes/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
In this manner sources and classes are in the same tree, it does not seem very clean to me, expecially if you consider that probably I must have a "test" directory to unit test some j2ee stuff (as for the j2se stuff in "src"): how would you do that?
Is this directory structure anyway what you meant or not?

Directory structure of JMS application

either we must follow any directory structure just like servlets and ejb as web-inf and meta-inf in JMS.

No real need - just use the JMS client directly in any JVM.
If you are using MDBs then yes you need to use an EAR just like EJBs - but alternatively just use spring.xml...

Changing file name and directory structure for use outside of iPhoto

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get iPhoto to name the files from my library to reflect the names that I've given the files in iPhoto. I'm thinking along the lines of iTunes, where its possible to chose in the preferences how the files are named, and there is some logical directory structure, such as "Artist/Album/01 - Track 1.mp3". These file names are updated to reflect any changes made in iTunes.
I've heard the argument that I shouldn't ever want to do anything with the files themselves because iPhoto can do everything I would ever want to do, but I want to organize the files so that not all of my organizational work is lost if I decide to stop using iPhoto and transition to a different system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian
No it's not possible.
You can rename the files before bringing them into iPhoto, you can rename them with the titles on Export (Use the File -> Export command, it gives you the option to use the title and filename) but when it's inside iPhoto you cannot rename the files.
However, all is not entirely lost. Using Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) you can move pics between rolls, name rolls, create rolls and so on, as long as you do this in the iPhoto Window, and these changes will be reflected in the iPhoto Library Folder.
If at some point you decide to chuck iPhoto then (if the new app won't read iPhoto database files) you can simply export each album you've created to a Folder (using the File -> Export command as I suggest above), this, along with exporting slideshows will preserve your organisational efforts.
The iTunes database has a rather simple job to do: track a file and it's assorted metadata. iPhoto, on the other hand, tracks a file and it's assorted metadata, plus a Modified version, plus a thumbnail. If you consider what happens when you edit a pic, for instance - Copy Original, perform edit, save modified version, remove Original Thumbnail and then create new one - you can see it's a rather more complex job.
Finally, the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. Any changes you make must be made in the iPhoto Window.
Need more info? by all means post again.

PC - Moving catalog and directory structure to a new HD

Having filled my internal HD with images, I went out and purchased a new and bigger external hard drive. I want to move my images to the new drive while preserving both my directory structure and catalog information. From what I can see of the "move" command in PS Elements, it moves selected images to a new directory, but that's not what I want to do. I probably have a hundred named folders and I would like to keep the images in folders of the same name on the new drive. I don't want to have to move one directory at a time. Copying through the file manager can obviously do this, but I don't know if it will preserve my tags, etc.
Is there a straightforward way to move files from one drive to another that preserves both directory structure and catalog information?
Thanks in advance.
Artie

Humm, this is strange-Version 4 is supposed to move entire folders; Version 3 did not do this.
Okay, Plan B.
Open Elements and do a Full Backup and point to your external hard drive.
When this has finished running, do a Restore. You should get a pop up asking if you want to use the existing folder structure. Answer Yes and point to your External HardDrive (EHD). This should copy your photos and the Organizer file over to your (EHD).
Now look in Preferences under Files (I think, don't have program open) and you will see one value for where to store photos and one for Organizer location. Change these to your EHD so future photos and tags/collections are written to the EHD.
Verify all your tags and collections came over correctly.
If you are satisfied the transfer went correctly, you can erase your photos from your hard drive to free up space. You can also delete the Organizer file if you want.
Option 2-Use Windows Explorer and move all the files from your hard drive to your EHD. This will keep your folder structure, but will cause havoc with Organizer.
Open Organizer and do File>Reconnect All Missing. It will be all of them. You should have an option to change the drive to your EHD. It may take quite a while to reconnect all of them, but since all the folders/files are the same name it should find them all.
If you wish, you can change the drive location manually. However, I've found many users 1) do not have MS Access on their machine and 2) are not experienced in using the program. If you are comfortable with the program, let me know and we'll get some directions.
Finally, I see a copy of the post in the Technical side. Since most forum users read both sides of this forum, I'm going to reference this thread in that post so anyone can see what we have tried so far.

Package and Directory Structure

Hello --
I work in a group that supports 3 web sites. (b2b, b2c, b2e)
We're just beginning to develop Java in-house and
currently using Solaris and JDK 1.2.x.
I need to propose a package and directory structure strategy.
The "reverse the domain name" guideline makes sense to me.
My first thoughts are: ("classes" dir could be created anywhere)
classes/com/ppco/b2X/ <--- for .java and .class files (development)
lib/ <--- for b2X JAR files (ready for test or production)
util/ <--- for our utility classes like DBAccessor
lib/ <--- for our JAR files
sun/ <--- for classes like com.sun.mail pkg
lib/ <--- for JAR files like mail.jar
org/ <--- for classes in org.omg.CORBA pkg
lib/ <--- for JAR files
We need to handle 3rd party classes.
Development would be done in the b2X tree and JAR files would
be installed the lib/ dir for testing and release to production.
Does anyone have recommendations or experiences to share ?
Are there some things to avoid ?
Thanks !
Al

Hello Al,
you are on the right track. A typical convention I follow is:
<project>
bin - for startup scripts, etc. to run your application
build - for build scripts (not necessary if you build using your IDE. See below.)
classes - for my compiled classes
lib - for my 3rd party libraries
src - for my source code
test - for my test code (see http://junit.org/ )
That's the project hierarchy. The src (i.e. the package heirarchy) structure is another story.
As you say, you start with the reverse domain name. This is to give your packages a unique namespace. After that, your best guide is practice. Packages can be larger or smaller, depending on your coding practices. Usually you would have these (exact names may differ), plus others:
com/ppco/client
com/ppco/server
com/ppco/common
com/ppco/db
I think your break down of sun, org, etc. is a bit too much. If you would like to do so, however, I recommend you do the separation under /lib. This way, the top level project directory is not polluted by the different types of libraries in use.
Regards,
Manuel Amago.
From build above: I would suggest you always build your release distribution directly with the JDK, not using any IDE compiler. This is because Sun's JDK is the reference implementation, thus, any compatibility issues are not yours.
An easy way to achieve this is by using ANT (see http://jakarta.apache.ort/ant/ ).
