Recommended Posts

hello,

use FileFindFirstFile to return list of directories on given path.

all works fine, util directories names are in this format :

SS.F70824

SS.F70825

SS.F70826

SS.F70827

SS.F70828

SS.F70829

..

Dot (SS.) in directories name, brokes all script engine, and can't resolve.

Is there a way to list all directory also in this format ?

(can't touch them, as part of production cicle)

Thank you,

m.

I tested the following and it works for me - c:\ mb contains directories you named above

[/code]
; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory.#'
#include <array.au3>
; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory.#'
#include <array.au3>

Dim $DirListing[1]

$search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\mb\*.*") 
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    
    _ArrayAdd($DirListing, $file)
    
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)
_ArrayDisplay($DirListing)

Use _FileListToArray($sPath,"*",2). Edited by Andreik

Try this:

#include <array.au3>

Dim $DirListing[1]

$search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\mb\*")
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    
    If StringInStr(FileGetAttrib("C:\mb\" & $file), "D") <> 0 Then _ArrayAdd($DirListing, $file)
    
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)
_ArrayDisplay($DirListing)

myspacee,

Here is a recursive search script which will get all files in a tree of folders. All you need to do is substitute the start (top level) folder and the filename (*.* for everything).
