recursive structures NOT recursive

Author	Message
Dirk F?rb #1 / 5	recursive structures NOT recursive Hi, I've a problem with a programming language which doesn't allow recursive calls. (here: I want to read a directory structure with all subdirectories in word-basic.) Thus I have to solve the program task with for, while, if and other ordinary commands. Does anyone have a solution? -Dirk P.S. function Recursive1(param) if param < 2 then Recursive1(param+1);end /* functional part: e.g. read directory structure with all subdirectories */ Recursive1=Number_of_subdirectories end function

What happens when you try? I've never had a problem with recursive calls in Word Basic. If you're running out of memory or stack space, you probably have the ending condition wrong. Tom Lake

Probably an example would help me out. Ah, by the way: I'm using Winword 7.0. -Dirk

David G. McDivi #4 / 5	recursive structures NOT recursive To solve this you must call interrupts. If DOS, you must set up a user defined type, and pass dir info into such a variable. If Win95 use an integer to save the file handle for long file name searches. Place these in an array. If the file attribute indicates a directory, increment to the next element in the array, and start over. When at the end of a subdirectory, decrement the array element and continue where the parent directory left off.

David G. McDivi #5 / 5	recursive structures NOT recursive Sorry if duplicate. I didn't see it come back across. To solve this you must call interrupts. If DOS, you must set up a user defined type, and pass dir info into such a variable. If Win95 use an integer to save the file handle for long file name searches. Place these in an array. If the file attribute indicates a directory, increment to the next element in the array, and start over.
