The File List Action Component is to get a list of files that match the pattern.
| Output payload | Description |
|---|---|
cv.Payload |
Outputs the contents of the read directory as individual JSON objects. |
The contents of the directory will have the following data:
For example the pattern "icons/*" might return something like this for each file:
{"IsDir":false,"ModTime":"2021-08-10T13:18:29.2577374+09:00","Name":"arrow_down.bmp","Path":"icons/arrow_down.bmp","" Size ":824}
| Data | Description |
|---|---|
| IsDir | true for directories, false for files |
| ModTime | Modification Date and Time |
| Name | File name |
| Path | File path |
| Size | File size |
Component Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Pattern | The conditional expression to list files, e.g. icons/*. Note these folders are relative to actmgr/data |
| IncFILE | Specify whether to include files or not |
| IncDIR | Specify whether to include directories or not |
The pattern without a file path refers to the actmgr/data folder, so all paths need to be relative to that folder. You can find more details about the paths on different operating systems here.
Note: The payload will contain the metadata for one file returned by the list each. If you follow the File List component with the Join component, you’ll get a payload with every file metadata joined together. In this case, you will get:
