numero = 16182
interpreted = N
texte = 2.1 PI MacI have several maintainance scripts which perform actions (like MOVEFILE) on batches of cart files. Currently, I have to use [LISTFILES] to get a count of the number of files in a folder, and then go through a decrementing loop to ensure that none of the files are skipped (MOVEFILE will ruin the index order of files). Each loop requires another LISTFILES and a SHOWIF the file index = the loop index.It all works, but it's causing an enormous load on the server, causing some actions like [REPLACE] and [APPEND] to work incorrectly (or time out?).I'm not exactly sure how [LISTFILES] works, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't cache filenames. If it does, it doesn't index by them. It would be really helpful if it *did* index by file name. This would ensure that the correct files are being hit during any actions inside a LISTFILES loop. Maybe change [LISTFILES] to [LISTFILES index=filename] (defaults to system order if no index is specified). Is this feasible?I have a similar gripe with [LINEITEMS] (it would be nice it reference a lineitem by SKU), but that hasn't caused too many problems for me.I suppose I could just write out my file list to a database and call it up from there, but I'm not too anxious to start writing out more files than I already am.MichaelMichael Winston *By Phone!: (503)/652/8815 x341 Internet Coordinator *By e-mail!: michaelw@dhorse.com Dark Horse Comics, Inc. *By web!: http://www.dhorse.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
