IConfigurationDataCollector::get_Files method (pla.h)
Retrieves or sets the files to collect.
This property is read/write.
Syntax
HRESULT get_Files(
SAFEARRAY **Files
);
Parameters
Files
Return value
None
Remarks
You can use the IConfigurationDataCollector::FileMaxCount, IConfigurationDataCollector::FileMaxRecursiveDepth, and IConfigurationDataCollector::FileMaxTotalSize properties to limit the number of files that PLA collects.
PLA copies the files to the location specified in the IDataCollectorSet::LatestOutputLocation property. If more than one file has the same name, PLA leaves the first file name intact and appends _n (where n is a one-based serial number) to all subsequent files with the same name. You can use the XML report to determine the origin of each file.
The property performs a depth-first search using the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile functions. For example, assuming the following directory structure:
MyDir
Subdir1
Subdir1.1
a.txt
b.txt
Subdir1.2
c.txt
g.txt (folder in Subdir1)
h.txt (folder in Subdir1)
Subdir 2
subdir2.1
y.txt
z.txt
subdir2.1.1
m.txt
q.txt (folder in MyDir)
s.txt (folder in MyDir)
PLA would collect the files in the following order (assuming that no limits were reached):
q.txt
s.txt
g.txt
h.txt
a.txt
b.txt
c.txt
y.txt
z.txt
m.txt
