[Resolved] count # of files in a directory and get file names

[xeroTechnologiesLLC]

I don't know why I'm struggling with this(lack of sleep, sorry in advance ), but is there a way to count the number of files in a specific directory then gather the file names?

Searching through the functions I see various ways to copy and move directories and such, but I guess I'm just missing how to do a simple file count.

What I'm trying to accomplish is get the number of .ini files in 1 directory and their file names so that i can fill in a list or combo box with the information.

Any available information / assistance would be appreciated.

Redbull run in t-minus 11m.... ...and may wake up...

If I find the solution in the interim I'll post it here.

There are various ways to do it, one way I found preferable was by using a udf by user yashied, just look for the udf via google and download it, there is a function in it that is called somewhere along the lines of "_winapi_enumdirfiles' or something like that, it has various options to enumerate files by type, location and if they are in the current directory or subdirectories.

edit: here it is..

#Include <Array.au3>
#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Global $Data = _WinAPI_EnumFiles(@SystemDir, 1, '*.ax;*.cpl;*.dll;*.drv;*.exe;*.ocx;*.scr')
_ArrayDisplay($Data, '_WinAPI_EnumFiles')
MsgBox(0,'# num files',$data[0])

xeroTechnologiesLLC,

_FileListToArray will do that - the [0] element of the array returned is the count and the subsequent elements are the file names.

If you need to look recursively in subfolders then take a look at RecFileListToArray in my sig.

Thank yall both very much!

Check out my "Inventory" in my signature. It's an easy GUI for Melba23's RFLTA and it displays the number of files in a message box and file name results into notepad.
