Read file names of given path

[autoitquestion]

Hi,

How can I read the last modified file name in given path?

And how can I get all file names of given path

Thanks a lot ahead!

Noa :-)

hi autoitquestion,

_FileListToArray => lists all files of a given ath to an array

FileGetTime => Returns time and date information of a file.

Edit: Maybe you want to use the search functions in the helpfile and the forum first before posting questions. No offend, but I think these things can be found easily by searching.

So I search myself in manual and eventually I try search for file name begin with getName_ in path: C:\temp. I did as below:

$search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\temp\getName_") 
                If $search = -1 Then
                    ConsoleWrite("search failed")
                Else
                    ConsoleWrite("search passed")
                EndIf

file exist and it print search failed

What could be the reason?

What do you think the issue could be?

Read the helpfile .... think a little .. then answer.

You need a wildcard "*"

eg.

FileFindFirstFile(@TempDir & "\getName_*")

[hannes08]

If you take a look at the manual you'll see something like this:

Function: FileFindFirstFile

Parameters

filename: File search string. (* and ? wildcards accepted)

==> You'll need to use wildcards!

Do you think we can make independent replys 4 in a minute next time?

So...

First of all-thanks to all!

Second:

My solution is:

$search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\temp\*getName_*") 
                If $search = -1 Then
                    ConsoleWrite("search failed")
                Else
                    ConsoleWrite("search passed")
                                        ;in $value we'll get file name
                    $value= FileFindNextFile($search)
                EndIf

My solution is:

Ok... this time a little more serious:

Of course that is the obvious answer.

The reason I posted the way I did was that you seem to fire questions in these forums without putting too much effort in yourself.

So do us and yourself a favor and take this all a little more serious because that will pay back.

                    $value= FileFindNextFile($search)
                EndIf

That's a start, but with this you'll only find one file, not all of them. Look at the example in the manual.
