Title: List all volumes?
Post by: sim085 on October 16, 2009, 01:48:33 PM

Hi,

Is it possible to list all volumes such as RAM: DH0: DH1: etc? I would like to use this together with the list command so that I can call a particular script for every volume.

Regards,
Sim085

assign > ram:volumes.txt
 
would give you all the assigns not just volumes
 
maybe you could do
 
mount > ram:volumes.txt
 
not 100% sure if you can use mount like this though

Those commands work fine for me as well. However I was hoping I could use them like the list command - that is building a script on the fly so that I can do the following for each of the volumes

Code: [Select]

execute myScript DH0:
execute myScript DH1:
etc...

In the list command I do as follows:

Code: [Select]

list >T: System: all dirs p=#? lformat="execute myScript %p%m"

No it does not work - at least not with those arguments! :(

1.Work:> assign vols

lists the mounted volumes.


Ed: enter "assign ?" into a shell to see what else it can do.

Using the assign ? I can see that this does not take the lformat parameter!! So does this mean it is impossible to write a script containing all the volumes with extra text??

No, but you might have to be a little more inventive. :hammer:

Hi again, I tried reading Using the AMIGA Workbench but did not find anything usefull to help me achieve this! I cannot understand how I can extract the volume information from the info command. The only way would be to have some sort of parser but did not find any either. Any suggestions?

Please - any help on this? I am also searching in the other scripts in S: to see if I can find anything that might help me out - however so far I had no luck :(

Or maybe this is not possible through scripting only!?
