Re: LuaJIT FFI file/directory iterator help needed

2011/6/6 Attila <ejjeliorjarat@gmail.com>

I know LFS, and I used it many times. Now I want to be able to replace it with LuaJIT FFI interface, since I need just this directory/file iterator function. Therefore I don't need additional dlls. What Peter write should be good, but when I try to ran it, i got the following:

E:\LuaJIT>luajit files.lua
luajit: files.lua:59: missing declaration for symbol 'forFiles'
stack traceback:
files.lua:59: in main chunk
[C]: ?

59th line is:

tFILES = ffi.C.forFiles("C:\\")
Which was just put on the end of the script. Any idea?

Two example functions using LFS here,
<http://lua-users.org/wiki/DirTreeIterator>. Another on the LFS site
here, <http://keplerproject.github.com/luafilesystem/examples.html>.

I haven't tested any of them but had bookmarked them for possible later use.
