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
dim strFileName 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.
Hi Appari & mmcmillen,

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
