importCode.C File Reference

Detailed Description

Example of script showing how to create a ROOT file with subdirectories.

The script scans a given directory tree and recreates the same structure in the ROOT file. All source files of type .h,cxx,c,dat,py are imported as TMacro objects. See also the other tutorial readCode.C

 
#include "TFile.h"
#include "TSystem.h"
#include "TMacro.h"
 
void importdir(const char *dirname) {
   char *slash = (char*)strrchr(dirname,'/');
   char *locdir;
   if (slash) locdir = slash+1;
   else       locdir = (char*)dirname;
   printf("processing dir %s\n",dirname);
   TDirectory *savdir = gDirectory;
   TDirectory *adir = savdir->mkdir(locdir);
   adir->cd();
   void *dirp = gSystem->OpenDirectory(dirname);
   if (!dirp) return;
   char *direntry;
   Long_t id, size,flags,modtime;
   //loop on all entries of this directory
   while ((direntry=(char*)gSystem->GetDirEntry(dirp))) {
      TString afile = Form("%s/%s",dirname,direntry);
      gSystem->GetPathInfo(afile,&id,&size,&flags,&modtime);
      if (direntry[0] == '.')             continue; //forget the "." and ".." special cases
      if (!strcmp(direntry,"CVS"))        continue; //forget some special directories
