I don't think File I/O is provided in lapi.You are supposed to use the language specific I/O package for that.In java it would be an import of java.io,in VB it may be the FileSystemObject and so on.Once you have done a recursive program to list a directory then you tie in LAPI methods to do the livelink stuff.Here's my personal favorite on java codehttp://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.io/Roots.html?l=rel

here is code snipit from a personal utility of mine.File file = new File("C:\\test");void recursiveCopy(File path,LAPI_DOCUMENTS documents,int volume_id,int parent_id) throws Throwable { if(path.isFile()) { console.writeLine("Uploading -> " + path.getPath()); LLValue object_info = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet(); LLValue version_info = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet(); int status = documents.AddDocument(volume_id,parent_id,path.getName(),path.getPath(),object_info,version_info); if(status != 0) throw new LiveLinkException(m_session,status); } else if(path.isDirectory()) { console.writeLine("Scanning Folder -> " + path.getParent() + "\\" + path.getName()); LLValue create_info = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet(); LLValue object_info = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet(); int status = documents.CreateObjectEx(volume_id,parent_id,LAPI_DOCUMENTS.OBJECTTYPE,LAPI_DOCUMENTS.FOLDERSUBTYPE,path.getName(),create_info,object_info); if(status != 0) throw new LiveLinkException(m_session,status); File []files = path.listFiles(); for(int i=0;i<files.length;i++) recursiveCopy(files[i],documents,volume_id,object_info.toInteger("ID")); } }
