Foxpro 7.0 "scan" sub directories
Hi,
I have a directory containing a whole slew of folders. Each of these folders contains several FoxPro databases. What I am trying to do is access a DBF of a certain name in each of the folders. Then sum up a certain field in the dbf, and store it in another table. What I need help with is parsing though each of the directories. Pseudocode might look like this:
For each folder in directory X
set strD = Directory_name
use sales.dbf
Sum amount to X1
copy strD to table Y
copy X1 to table Y
Next Folder
Thanks for your help experts.

I supposed it as well...
So, please change the first line to:
LOCAL lcBaseFolder, lnDirs, laDirs[1], lnI, lcDir, lnSum
So, please change the first line to:
LOCAL lcBaseFolder, lnDirs, laDirs[1], lnI, lcDir, lnSum
The laDirs can be an array of any dimension, it can even be missing (then private array is created) but it cannot be a single variable prior to the ADIR() function call.
The interesting thing is I don't remember when this error occured in my code in the past...
OTOH, this error message prevents a certain kind of typo bugs in code.

Thanks again. That worked, but it brought me to another question which I will post shortly. :)

When I run this code I get an error saying laDirs is not an array. Does it need to be specifically dimensioned first? I thought VFP automatically created and sized arrays as needed.
