Using File.list()

Question

Hi,
Im using FMS 3 on the server side when onConnect occures i
need an array of all file that is the directory root/streams/myApp
how do use the File.list() ? do i need to create a new file
just for getting the list of files of the directory? and how do i
get to do that on the directory i want ? is it like this:
File.list(function(name){ return
name.indexOf("streams/myApp/")!=-1);
i so the example in the doc files :
var a = x.currentDir.list(function(name){return
name.length==3;});
does x is a File object? and where the currentDir came from
its not a File property?
Please help ...

In SSAS, File objects represent both files and directories.
The "x" in the examples just means "arbitrary thing that has
a member of whatever type we're talking about." In this case, "x"
is something that has a member called "currentDir" that's a File
object (presumably representing the current directory).
I'm pretty sure you can create an equivalent like this:
currentDir = File(".");
Also, your search isn't going to work the way you expected.
The find function doesn't search all subfolders recursively, and
the name parameter only gets the filename (the last component of
the path), not the entire pathname. You're going to want to open
streams/myApp as a File, then just list everything in it.
