Re: Listing a directory in a listbox

Richard,
Can this code be modified so that its output goes to an array? And can that array be populated such that each subdirectory in it is followed by its contents?
Great code. Just what I needed at this moment. Thank you.

Well you could code a loop to read the contents of the listbox into an array, either by using the SELECTINDEX and SELECTION? commands or by using the Windows API (LB_GETTEXT message). But wouldn't it be easier to use the FILES statement and simply arrange to pass the same path and filter parameters as you used for the listbox?

There are examples of recursive use of the FILES statement to recover the contents of sub-directories. A search of the usual LB code repositories should be fruitful.
