[Gambas-user] Shell - commands with arguments doesn't work

[Kende Krisztián]

An interesting example, why do not you use native methods?

Dim item As String

For Each item In Dir(User.Home).Sort()

  With Stat(User.Home & "/" & item)

    Print .Auth & " " & .User & " " & .Group & " " & .Size & " " & .LastModified & " " & item

  End With

Next
