Hi

At first sight I can't find a way to get all the partitions on the user his
system.
I'm looking for something like File.listRoots() in Java.
Anyone knows a way to do this?

Thanks
Jan

Does this do what you want (see attached).  Output on my system is:

HDD: [C:\,D:\,G:\]
FDD: [A:\]
CDD: [E:\]

Just realised I could template it and easily support all types.  Attached is a new one.

That does the trick. Thanks a lot!

This works without fault on my XP SP2 system.

I should also state "This code is public domain".  That is, all code I posted in this the "listRoots?" thread is public domain.

p.s. Of course mentioning my name in your code comments or wherever would make me happy ;)

Would you loke to add this to scrapple?

For some reason that link isn't working for me.

I assume it's a library of sorts?

Assuming there is no problem with the fact that I made my code public domain feel free to add the code I posted to scrapple.  I'd appreciate a mention somewhere even if it's just in a comment by the code itself.

It looks like dsource is down (though I can still ping it).

Of sorts. It's basically an "miscellaneous" project, containing useful stuff that for one reason or another isn't hosted elsewhere.

Speaking of which, I would love it if there were some place where one could browse for all known D projects, with a keyword index.  Probably Dsource is the closest thing to a clearing house for D code, but some people just want to host their own stuff.

Anyway, I'm thinking of a PyPI (Python Package Index) type thing.  You don't have to host your project on PyPI, though you can, but whether you do or not, you can register your project, supply keywords, and a brief description and a pointer to where the code can be found.

I was thinking DSSS was going to sprout something like that, but as far as I know, DSSS finds -net packages via some less public route.
