Loading files into a program

[Moneo]

So, thanks for all the tips. I didn't know any of the suggested commands like files, chdir, etc. I also tried Moneo's suggestion, but that was in a hurry, and didn't work. I'll take a better look after it later .......

Did you ever get my method to work? If not, please post your program so I can see what went wrong.

I used to have a program that Na_th_an gave to me that got the directory of a file such as windows and saved it to a text file so that it could be displayed in any way withing QB but I don't remember how he did it. You should ask him.

BANANNA,

Nathan's "DirectoryContents" example above confirms my suggestion of doing a SHELL with a DIR command. This is the most popular and proven method of obtaining a list of filenames in a given directory. You should try to get this working. If it won't work for you, post your program so we can help. If you're no longer interested, kindy advise.
