FileSystem

hi Colin

Is there a way not to have to specify the FileSystem to create a stream for a file on disk?

str := FSUnixFilesystem new writeStreamOn: 'giffle'.
str nextPutAll: 'zzzzzzzzzz'.
str close

->

str := 'giffle' asWriteStream
str nextPutAll: 'zzzzzzzzzz'.
str close

is there a way to do


currentFolder doWithAllFiles: [:each | Transcript show: each name ; show: each size ; cr]

Do I have to use an FSPreOrderGuide?
Are there some behavior like doWithAllFiles already defined?

I have the impression that having some extensions could make the interfaces smoother.
I liked some of the aspects of the rio ones, even if I did not like the chaining one.

I guess he missed that, so let me answer.

First of all you should not hardcode the unix platform. Instead let
the system resolve the platform for you:

   (FSDiskFilesystem current / 'griffle') writeStream

At the moment there is no shortcut for this on String. I think it
would make sense to add a method #asFilesystemReference that would try
to guess the right filesystem and answer a reference. So then one
could write:

   'griffle' asFilesystemReference writeStream
   'http://www.lukas-renggli.ch' asFilesystemReference readStream
   ...

> currentFolder doWithAllFiles: [:each | Transcript show: each name ; show: each size ; cr]

   currentFolder allChildren do: [ :each |

Yes, in the enumeration protocol of FSReference. There are only a few
algorithms there, but that will probably grow over time. The
FSPreOrderGuide is an internal implementation artifact, it should not
be used directly.

Do we really reference the file-system or just a file ?

asFileReference or asFilename (VW) would be just fine to my own taste.

It can be a directory or filename. It does not have to exist (yet).

I agree that the name is long and that there are probably better ones.

I prefer that.
I was not happy with my code.

FSDiskFilesystem current workingDirectory allChildren do not work :(

        I do not understand why workingDirectory return a path and not a reference
        because this is not workingDirectoryPath

So how can I get all the files in my current direct directory

        FSDiskFilesystem current childrenAt: FSDiskFilesystem current workingDirectory

        looks ugly
