What the Jabaco equiv for Dir$() and GetAttr()?

Is there a place in the Community somewhere where there's a table of VB6 keyword to Jabaco replacement? For instance, I'd like to convert the code below to Jabaco, but having no background whatsoever in Java makes it pretty hard.

Dim A As String
  A = Dir$("C:\*.*", vbDirectory)
  Do While A <> ""
 	   Debug.Print A, GetAttr("C:" & A)
 	   A = Dir$
  Loop

Bruce.

Hi Bruce,

I've "tried" to implement Dir and GetAttr you can find it in the module FileSystem the same as in VB.

for updating your Framework: in Jabaco click the menu item "?"->"Get the latest snapshot".



But ... you can not use it like you did it here, however thanks to your hint, until now.
Do you want to implement it? it's possible ...

in Java you simply need java#io#File.listFiles() which delivers an array of files



Are you already a Jabaco-Framework developer? :)

have you seen the tutorial: Develop the Jabaco Framework



a thought where you could start from (untested)

      Dir = myDirFiles(myDirIndex).getName
      myDirIndex = myDirIndex + 1
   Else
      myDirIndex = 0
      Dir = ""
   End If
