rakudave 1 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 well, i was just asking myself, but: can one select the folder in which the script should "filefindnextfile"?

MSLx Fanboy 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 Maybe you could clarify the question better, however, using FileGetAttrib would tell you if it is a directory, and then you can just FileFindFirstFile on that as well. You might be able to find a UDF either in the public, the beta, or somewhere in the forums, that recursively searches through folders...

LxP 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Local $Handle = FileFindFirstFile(@WindowsDir & '\*.*')The FileFindFirstFile() call determines which folder to search for files. If you'd like to subsequently search a different folder, you'll need to initiate a new search by calling FileFindFirstFile() again.

Helge 1 Report post Posted December 2, 2005 I know this ain't the right place for me to say this, but an idea just dropped to my head when I sawthis topic. What about adding an optional parameter to FileFindFirstFile, where you can specify whatkind of things it should search for.1 - Files 2 - Folders (default is 3)..just sharing my magnificent mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
