Obtaining a file path of a newly created directory/folder

[ontheteam]

I primarily use AutoIt for doing unattended application setups.

I am trying to write a script to install a custom user profile in Firefox for Windows. Firefox does not create the profile directory until its first run, but upon first run it creates a new user profile here:

"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uf0d7p36.default\"

The problem I am running into is that the final directory is named randomly; in this case "uf0d7p36.default" could just as well be "whatever.default". How can I write a script that will discover the name of this folder? Upon first install, this is the ONLY directory/folder inside

"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"

Anyway, my idea for the script is this:

Run("firefox.exe")
WinWait("Import Wizard",,10);wait for Firefox to create its profile structure
ProcessClose("firefox")

;Now the script needs to discover the path of the newly created profile directory, so I can tell 7zip where to extract the profile to.

Other info:

Not sure if this is useful, but there is a text file "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profiles.ini" that provides Firefox with this info:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/uf0d7p36.default
Default=1

Also, that directory name is listed nowhere in the registry.

I'd be grateful for any assistance.

Since the profiles directory only contains this directory all you have to do is this:

#include <File.au3>
$data=_FileListToArray(@AppDataDir&"\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\","*.default",1)
MsgBox(0,"Firefox dir",$data[1])

Edit: Improved the example

I get this error with the example script:

Line 15 (File "C:\Documents and Settings\Prime\Desktop\New AutoIt v3 Script.AU3"):

MsgBox(0,"Firefox dir",$data[1])

MsgBox(0,"Firefox dir",^ ERROR

Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.

Nevermind that last post. The error was in the _FileListToArray flag setting of 1 (files only) instead of 2 (folders).

Thank you for pointing the way.
