Vadersapien Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 How can I List the Contents of a Directory? I need be able to list both files AND folders within the directory. I've had a look around the forums, but nothing seems to suit my needs.

omikron48 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 You use FileFindFirstFile to get the first file/folder in a directory, then use FileFindNextFile to iterate through all the contents of the directory until you hit an error indicating that there are no more items.

Achilles Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Or use the function _FileListtoArray Example (from the helpfile): #Include <File.au3> #Include <Array.au3> $FileList=_FileListToArray(@DesktopDir) If @Error=1 Then MsgBox (0,"","No Folders Found.") Exit EndIf If @Error=4 Then MsgBox (0,"","No Files Found.") Exit EndIf _ArrayDisplay($FileList,"$FileList") My Programs[list][*]Knight Media Player[*]Multiple Desktops[*]Daily Comics[*]Journal[/list] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadersapien Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks, both methods work well, although I prefer the first method since it allows me to do whatever I want with the result, instead of just pushing it to an array...

Vadersapien Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 How would I detect what is a folder and what is a file?

99ojo Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 How would I detect what is a folder and what is a file?Hi,I would prefer _FileListToArray, because you can choose listing files / folders and you have an array to work with. Otherwise you have to check with FileGetAttrib () -> see helpfileHelpfile:_FileListToArray --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lists files and\or folders in a specified path (Similar to using Dir with the /B Switch);-))Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadersapien Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 An array would be useless in the way I'm using it...and thanks for telling me about FileGetAttrib ()!

Vadersapien Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 But how would I dectect the type properly if FileGetAttrib() returns a string like HD(Hidden + Directory)?

omikron48 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Use StringInStr on the output of the FileGetAttrib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
