filesearch keyword

[Cableguy]

Hi

As I understood from the help file, the filesearch keyword provides two variable, one being an array that contains the filenames, and the number of files found...
How do I code this?

I tryed:

n=filesearch(files,apppath&"\imageset","*.dll")

this gives me a null reference error..
For the moment the dir is empty, so if should return 0, shouldn't it?

The first parameter (files in your example) should be an ArrayList.

 

[Cableguy]

You mean that I need to add the array list before i call the filesearch keyword, right?

 

[Erel]

That is correct.

 

[Cableguy]

I still can't gett it to work...

I want to pass to labels the filenames found in the directory.
Can you exemplify how to pass the array...please!

 

[Erel]

Try this:

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    AddArrayList("al1")
    FileSearch(al1,AppPath,"*.jpg")
    For i = 0 to al1.Count - 1
        ListBox1.Add(FileName(al1.Item(i))) 'Omit the FileName if you need the complete path.
    Next
End Sub

Thanks Erel,

Now I see were I was going wrong...
