File Count & Startup switches

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can get a count of files from a specfic directory ?

Also, if I want to supply a startup switch with the .EXE file, how can nI pick this up in my code ?

Many thanks,

Nick.

For counting files:

Code:

---

a=dir(path)
do while len(a)
 a=dir
 count=count+1
loop

---

What do you mean with startup switch?

Thanks for the quick reply!

when I call the .exe file I want to supply a server name with it. The server name will change a lot. So for example:

code.exe servername

I want to be able to find out in my code what the name of the server is.

I hope this make it a bit clearer ?

You use the "command" function. This will return to you any parameters that were typed after the exe.

Code:

---


Dim stServer as String.

'In Form Load

stServer = Command

Funny, i had to do the same thing a couple of months ago. :)
