I like the "smallest directory browser" category Wink

Solved. Thanks!

For the small browsers, I always wanted a simple SUB to paste into those programs whose use user interface is.

Code:
Input file name:

Heh, well it's a good idea. Maybe it should be a challenge somewhere... Wink

No rules against shell to dos or interrupt calls, please. Don't forget these are the only ways you can change drive in QB!

The problem with using shell, is that on XP you need to add "cmd" while on 9x it doesent work with "cmd"

XP:
SHELL "cmd " + [command]

9x:
SHELL [command]

It's annoying, I tell you...

So none of the directory browsers in my page works for you?
They work ok in Windows 2000!

Not true, in XP you don't need "cmd". This works perfectly:

Code:
SHELL "dir >p.txt"

OPEN "p.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1

WHILE NOT EOF(1)

   LINE INPUT #1, l$

   PRINT l$

WEND

CLOSE

The only prob with XP is that SHELLing from a QB program doesn't work with long filenames (the DIR above gives the ~1 filenames and stuff), whilst in 98 it did (the above program would list long filenames in Win98).

I'm on win98

Nath, sorry. I meant:

SHELL [program name]
Does not work under XP, atleast not on the two computers I've tested it on...

Whereas, SHELL "cmd "+[program name] works fine

Antoni, they all work fine for me Wink

, just pointed a possible problem oput, but it turned out to be not so much of a problem after all, like nath said.

SHELL "BC"

and it worked.
