Talk:Empty directory
Things to watch for
If anyone's writing a solution, be aware that not every directory contains ..
. Root directories don't and they can be empty (except for .
). Good solutions will take care of this case (which admittedly is only practically going to happen on Windows; Unix has a single root and that's unlikely to ever be empty in practice given that you're running some code at all). –Donal Fellows 10:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- Every root directory I have ever seen contains [code]..[/code] -- in root directories, [code]..[/code] and [code].[/code] are the same. --Rdm 18:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
