Delete directorys and their content

[pspwill]

Is there a function on the PSP to delete directorys and all the content in them? sceIoRmdir wont delete directories if they have files in them.

You need to delete the files within the directory first.

I have this code snippet that will delete all files and sub directories as well as the given directory, but it might not be perfect ;)

Code: Select all

void recursiveDelete(char *dir)
{
 DIR *dip;
 struct dirent *dit;
 dip = opendir(dir);
 char fullname[512];

 while ((dit = readdir(dip)) != NULL)
 {
  sprintf(fullname, "%s/%s", dir, dit->d_name);

   if ((FIO_S_IFREG & (dit->d_stat.st_mode & FIO_S_IFMT)) == 0)
      {
             recursiveDelete(fullname);
             printf("Deleting directory: %s\n", fullname);
             rmdir(fullname);
         }
  else
      {
      printf("Deleting file: %s %i\n", fullname, FIO_S_IFREG & (dit->d_stat.st_mode & FIO_S_IFMT));
      remove(fullname);
      }
  }
 closedir(dip);
 rmdir(dir);
}

Thanks! :D and if anyone wants it, the psp version:

Code: Select all

void recursiveDelete(char *dir)
{
 int fd;
 SceIoDirent dirent;
 fd = sceIoDopen(dir);
 char fullname[512];

 while (sceIoDread(fd, &dirent) > 0)
 {
  sprintf(fullname, "%s/%s", dir, dirent.d_name);

   if ((FIO_S_IFREG & (dirent.d_stat.st_mode & FIO_S_IFMT)) == 0)
      {
             recursiveDelete(fullname);
             printf("Deleting directory: %s\n", fullname);
             sceIoRmdir(fullname);
         }
  else
      {
      printf("Deleting file: %s %i\n", fullname, FIO_S_IFREG & (dirent.d_stat.st_mode & FIO_S_IFMT));
      sceIoRemove(fullname);
      }
  }
 sceIoDclose(fd);
 sceIoRmdir(dir);
}

You'll almost certainly want

Code: Select all

memset(&dirent, 0, sizeof dirent);

in there. Often the random stuff in dirent means sceIoDread() will fail.

Or just use Insert_witty_name's code, it uses newlib which takes care of that sort of stuff.
