GUI Composer - Read files from a local directory

Christoph Thiele

Hi,

I want to read all the files from a local directory (without user having to input it) and display them. The use case would be a tool which lets the user select different out-files and load the selected to the target (using DSS).

Javascript doesn't allow the reading of files without the user specifying one or to files via a "choose file" html function for security reason.

Can somebody pinpoint me to a helpful function or a way to read all the files from a directory? Or is it not possible with GUI composer?

BR,

Christoph

Such function does not exist yet in GUI Composer. I can add it to CCS v6.

The function will do something like: given a local path it will return an array of all files in that folder.

Can you explain how does your script know the local path? You mentioned that it is not the user that specifies the path.

Regards

That would be exactly the functionality I will need, maybe the array should include the full path, so I can directly hand it over to a DSS function for loading an out file.

The script would know a local path by a variable or something I define, at least that's the goal. I want to have all the testcases in one definied folder and load them sequentially (best would be including sub-directories).

Regards,

Christoph

This feature is implemented and will be available in the next CCS 6 Beta drop.

I'll let you know when that is posted so you can provide us with feedback on the feature.
