similar to: Dir.readlink

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Hi, Try as I might, I just cannot get Dir.create_junction to work with FFI in the ffi branch of the win32-dir project. The problem is the REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER struct. I''m just not sure how to set those members, specifically, the PathBuffer member. The target looks good, it''s UTF-16LE encoded, but I can''t make it work, despite trying several ways of defining the struct,

Dan, Do you know when the next release of win32-dir is going to be available. I really would like to rely on it for the junction capability that Timothy Byrd posted. =) Thanks, Zach

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font

Here is some Ruby code for creating junctions on NTFS volumes. These are the main routines: Dir.junction?(dir) => true if dir is a junction Dir.reparse_target(dir) => returns the target of a junction, or dir Dir.create_junction(junctName, existingTarget) => creates a junctName junction pointing to existingTarget (also used (Dan''s?) GetLastError code and did some simple
