Use ADIR to get specific files from a folder
Chdir(SOURCE_FILE_DIR)
numfiles=Adir(filearry)
I know you get files that have a specific extension like this: Adir(filearry, '*.TXT')
BUT can you use a negative condition with Adir?Example: get files from a folder where the extension is not .txt or .dat
Or, since you are most likely going to be using your filearray in a looping structure to process the files in some fashion, why not forego it altogether and use SYS(2000, *.*, [1]) and LOOP on the ones you don't want to process. I'm thinking it would be faster and more powerful than using the Adir() and then having to remove or forego array elements you don't want. However, I don't know what problem you are trying to solve here and I haven't run any speed tests. Consider it my best "guess-timate".
Before I made the post I was thinking along the same lines as Craig B about removing items from the array. What I ended up doing:
Loop through the file array
IF (ALLTRIM(JUSTEXT(filearry[cntr,1])) <> EXT_1) AND (ALLTRIM(JUSTEXT(filearry[cntr,1])) <> EXT_2)
** PROCESS FILE HERE
ENDIF
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
