data dumper API / program
qwerty 18 Jul 2017
So I started working on a dtdmp (data dump) program and I've tried for what seems to be 4 - 5 hours trying to figure it out and yes I did follow the rules of thumb: check the api list, look for similar and resolved issues on the forum, check if anyone has done such a thing!
why I need this is for a turtle to communicate with a computer via a disk drive to instantly give instructions to each other.
I've tried the fs api. the copy program, and I can't come up with a solution to blacklist things to copy to the drive.
With regards

local blacklist = {["someFileName"] = true, ["someOtherFileName"] = true, ["yetAnotherFileName"] = true} if not blacklist[varWithNameOfFileYouWantToCopy] then -- copy file end
If you're still having trouble, elaborate on the part where you're getting stuck - what code have you tried, and how did the result differ from what you wanted?

sorry if I haven't described my exquisite desires to copy every single item on the computer exept disk/ and rom/, in the mean time, thank you for your loyal devotion to this quite intriguing and amazing community!

If you only want to blacklist files that "aren't on the computer's own drive", then you just need to check that fs.getDrive(path) == "hdd".
