directory change detector on windows twapi maybe?

[tedbr...@gmail.com]

Does tcl have a way to be notified when a directory changes. I need this for a windows system.

I know twapi can call low level windows functions and there's a way in windows to detect changes, but the low level twapi interface is not documented and I can't find a higher level twapi interface for this. Here's what I found on doing it from c++ or c# (I don't know which language this is)



// Declare a new FILESYSTEMWATCHER
protected FileSystemWatcher watcher;
string pathToFolder = @"YourDesired Path Here";

// Initialize the New FILESYSTEMWATCHER
watcher = new FileSystemWatcher {Path = pathToFolder, IncludeSubdirectories = true, Filter = "*.*"};
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(WatcherCreated);

void WatcherCreated(object source , FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
//Code goes here for when a new file is detected
}
