[Scilab-users] restriction for fileinfo (?)

[P M]

Hallo Samuel,

the whole thing is strange, since I also could create and read a path name
on a win7 machine using Scilab 6.0.1.
Here the path was in total 287 characters long, while the filename was 77
characters long.

However I still have issues:
- Win10
- Scilab 6.0.1

// read the path name from a txt file
fd = mopen("fileList.txt",'r');
files = mgetl(fd,-1);
mclose (fd);

// nr of files
nrOfFiles = size(files)(1);


for i = 1:nrOfFiles
   [fileInfo, err]        = fileinfo(files(i));
   dateLastMod(i,:) = getdate(fileInfo(i,6)(:,[1 2 6]);
end


I do not see any strange characters in the folder or file name structure.

e.g.: specific german characters "ä", "ü", "ß" etc...except of maybe
white-space-character

folders can start with characters or numbers..e.g.:

F:\CATIA-Parts\ExampleParts\BasicAircraft\000_fromMax\2029_13_98_-_06-This-is-model_name\04-SubmodelName\funktion\04_PartName\Part\PartVersion\04-the-actual-super-duper-long-file-name_SN0099-Part
version.CATPart
