Synopsis
Name: FAT_findFileInCluster
Minimum usb8x version: 0.10
Gets directory entry for a file/folder in specified directory.
Inputs
- HL is the starting cluster of the directory to search in (obtained with [[../FAT_getStartingCluster|FAT_getStartingCluster]])
- DE points to the name of a file/directory, 11-character format (obtained with [[../FAT_nameConvertTo11|FAT_nameConvertTo11]] if necessary)
Outputs
- HL points to the directory entry for the found file/folder
- C set if not found
Destroys
- AF, BC, DE, HL
Notes
This works with both file and folder names and is a lower-level way of searching for a file/folder in a directory. It is less likely to be used than [[../FAT_lookupPath|FAT_lookupPath]] or [[../DOS_getDirEntry|DOS_getDirEntry]].
Example code to find "test.txt" in the root directory:
ld hl,0000h ;0000h is always starting cluster for root directory ld de,sFilename U_CALL FAT_findFileInCluster ... sFilename: DB "TEST TXT"
If you are writing an application, you must copy the strings you use to RAM first, or else usb8x will not be able to see them.
