I was trying to use std.recls and noticed the following (using v0.109):

* There's no FileSearch / FtpSearch class, only (not abstract) Search;
* The RECLSFLAG's have an (undocumented) prefix RECLS_F_, so you end up
typing "RECLSFLAG.RECLS_F_FILES";
* The members start with capitals, i.e. Entry::GetPath() (doc says
getPath,...);
* getPathNameSeparator() appears twice in the doc (one should be
getPathSeparator() ?);
* None of the "Free functions provided by the recls module" seem to exist;
* Passing multiple delimited wildcards to Search doesn't work (I've tried ;
: , ).

This is all because Walter and I've had something of a disconnect in updating the library for some months now. Those capabilities, and matching documentation, do exist, but not (yet) in Phobos, due to our "difference of opinion".

Since I'm intending to do a rewrite / expansion in the next few weeks (which _must_ be done, in order to keep in synch with my CUJ column), Walter decided we should wait.

Expect the updated (and fully functional) version in early Jan. (I'm
likely to do a version 1.6, and then move to a 2.x which will have more
D-integrateable data types.)

In the meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that you can get all the "latest" functionality from the recls site - http://recls.org/downloads.html. Version 1.5.2 was released on 13th June, and has the updated D mapping. Please feel free to post any problems with this release here, or email me directly at <admin > at   <recls > d d d dot <org>.

Sorry for the hassles. If it eases the pain any, this issue's been bugging me for a long while. 't'will be sorted very shortly.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll get on with my project now: rewriting fart(.sf.net) in D.
