How to get all the file name in a folder?
Posted on 2002-07-24
Hi Experts,
My question is... how can i get all the file name which located in a specific folder?
For example, there are file1.txt, file2.txt and file3.txt inside MyFolder. But i've no idea at all what files and how many files are inside the folder, what i knew is juz the specific path to the folder name (e.g. C:\MyDocument\MyFolder\)
So base on the limited info i have, can i retrieve all the file names inside that specific folder?
I did try on FileSystemObject's GetFileName function, but this is not wat i want.
So, experts do u have any ideas on it??... plz share with me!
Thanx...
Regards,
Jilim

something like this
dim strFilePath as string
dim strFileName as string
strFilePath="C:\MyDocument
strFileName=dir(strFilePat
while strFileName<>""
debug.print strFileName
strFileName=dir()
wend
dim strFilePath as string

strFilePath="C:\MyDocument
strFileName=dir(strFilePat
while strFileName<>""
debug.print strFileName
strFileName=dir()
wend
use a filelistbox and read through each item. That will also give you the ability to filter for certain file types, or wildcards.

In VBScript, you will need to use the FileSystemObject object, a Folder object, and File objects. Something like...
Dim fso
Dim fol
Dim fil
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
Set fol = fso.GetFolder("C:\MyDocume
For Each fil In fol.Files
MsgBox fil.Name
Next
That should give you a series of message boxes each telling you the name of one of the files. (Of course, you can do other things with the File object, but that's just an example.)
I would recommend reading about these objects in the VBScript documentation.
Dim fso
Dim fol
Dim fil
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
Set fol = fso.GetFolder("C:\MyDocume
For Each fil In fol.Files
MsgBox fil.Name
