Hi folks,

Two questions here:

1. What is DIR$(fspec$, VOL) for ? I know what the manual says, but what is the use-case?

2. Is there an (undocumented) DIR$(fspec$, ALL) which seems to be in the MMBasic for Raspberry Pi source ... I haven't had opportunity to try it.

Regards,

Tom

"ALL" gives me this:

> list
f$ = Dir$("*", ALL)
Do While f$ <> ""
Print f$
f$ = Dir$()
Loop

> run
.cache
.local
.gnupg
node_modules
.
.npm
.node-red
.config
..
>

"VOL" gives me this:

[1] f$ = Dir$("*",VOL)
Error: Invalid flag specification
>

DIR gives the same as ALL

lizby said "ALL" gives me this:

On CMM2, or on Pi-cromite ?

I assume that list for ALL includes directories and files ?

OK, I've tested on CMM2 and it looks like ALL is supported but not documented in the manual that I have.
