VOLUME LIST


VOLUME LIST ( volumes )

Parameter	Type	Description
volumes	String array	Names of the volumes currently mounted

Description

The VOLUME LIST command populates the text array volumes with the names of the volumes currently defined (Windows) or mounted (Macintosh) on your machine.

On Macintosh, it returns the list of the volumes visible at the Finder level. Only the names of the volumes are returned (for example "MacHD", "BootCamp", etc.).
On Windows, it returns the list of the volumes currently defined whether or not each volume is physically present (i.e. the volume E:\ will be returned whether or not a CD or DVD is actually present in the drive). The names of the volumes are followed by the folder separator character ("C:\").

Example

Using a scrollable area named atVolumes you want to display the list of the volumes defined or mounted on your machine, you write:

 Case of

    :(Form event=On Load)

       ARRAY TEXT(atVolumes;0)

       VOLUME LIST(atVolumes)

 

  //...

 End case
