Parse a physical drive
I need to parse a physical drive and get a result similar to a [DIV /S] from the command line. I need to know how many nodes from the root each file is and the file type. Example: FileName:="TeastMe.txt" NodeCount:="14" or something. Could anyone help me please.
Thank You Eric Cashwell

not quite clear
It's not quite clear what are you trying to accomplish.
If what you want is to parse a string like "/home/user/public_html/welcome.html" (or similarly, "C:\home\user\public_html\welcome.html") and return something like Code:
name=welcome.html level=3 // with zero-based level number then it's a trivial task of simply searching the string for the occurence of '/' or '\'. If you're looking for a concrete implementation in a particular language, then you should probably ask it in that language's forum (I would call it bad taste to resort here to any language in particular :) If you actually want to really "parse a physical drive" and get the same result for a given file name, it would require knowledge of the underlying filesystem. Since there is a plethora of those available (among them Ext2, Ext3, NTFS, FAT[32], ReiserFS, UFS; just to mention a few), so it's impossible to answer your question. Even then, it's not a matter of algorithms, but rather a question of "specification of filesystem implementation". If your question is something completely different, then accept my apology for not knowing any better. That's it.

you asked in the algorithms forum, this one is easy. here you go:
(pseudo-code) Code:
global file_list;
function add_to_list(n,d,t) {
l=length(file_list);
file_list[l]->name=n;
file_list[l]->level=d;
file_list[l]->type=t;
}
function parse_dir(dirname) {
depth++;
static depth;
for each entry {
add_to_list(dirname+"\"+entry.name,depth,entry.type);
if (is it a directory) {
parse_dir(dirname+"\"+entry.name); // recursive call to get all files inside
}
}
}
parse_dir("(DRIVE LETTER):\")
does this fit to your question?
