noob to autoit, simple question

[pendal]

I need to return the directories within an directory into an array to be used in a loop.

I am used to coding in PHP and Javascript.

in other words

Dim $baseDir, $dirArray

$dirArray = get directory list from $baseDir

foreach($dirArray){

do something

}

Can I have some help translating that into autoit code?

I looked through the function list and can't find anything about listing directory contents.

in PHP i would use the command scandir().

Basically I need to go into each of those directories and do file maintenance.

Thanks in advance.

This should work for you.

#include <File.au3>
Global $array
$array = _FileListToArray($sPath, "*", 2)  ;$sPath = path to dir, "*" is wildcard saying all files, and the 2 means return folders only
For $n = 0 To UBound ($array) - 1
;do something...
Next

Look under File Management in the help file for more information.

Edit: Added for loop code

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
$DirList = _FileListToArray(@DesktopDir, "*", 2)

For $i = 1 to $DirList[0]
    MsgBox(0,@DesktopDir,"'" & $DirList[$i] & "' is a folder located in " & @DesktopDir)
Next

;or

_ArrayDisplay($DirList)

That should do what you need...just sub @DesktopDir with whatever folder you want to search...
