File listing using emulator << possible?

[lauchi324]

Hi everyone

I am having problems with listing file names using the RFs/CDir API, but it seems that the emulator isn't running properly.

The code I have to list all all file names within a folder is:

CDir* dirList;
_LIT(KDirName, "C:\Test\");
_LIT(KFileSpec,"C:\Test\*");

fileSession.Connect();

User::LeaveIfError(
fileSession.GetDir(KFileSpec,
KEntryAttMaskSupported,
ESortByName,
dirList));

It failed to run the line User::LeaveIfError and hence no file names were returned in variable dirList.

My question is, can we actually use emulator to test the folder/file accessing on a pc? If so, what have I done wrong to result in such failure?

Thanks for anyone in advance that could offer some help

maybe you should have checked the SDK docs on the topic, one problem there is that the dir name should have been written like this: _LIT(KDirName, "C:\\Test\\"); (i.e '\' in doubles.), same goes with the other string as well.

Also next time, try to include the error note shown, because it tells exactly what goes wrong, and improves your possibilities of people answering your questions.
