Reading files out of an directory

[arsmakman]

Is there a way to read which files are in a folder, preferrably putting the filenames in a string.

Like:

Dim sFilenames() as String
 
Object.Folder = "C:\Folder\"
sFilenames() = Object.FilesInFolder

But then in a way that works.

Or rather than the API, you can use the DIR() function:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim strPathToSearch As String
    Dim strCurrentPath As String
    
    strPathToSearch = "c:\"
    
    strCurrentPath = Dir(strPathToSearch, vbDirectory)
    
    Do While strCurrentPath <> ""
        If strCurrentPath <> "." And strCurrentPath <> ".." Then
            Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strCurrentPath & vbCrLf
        End If
        strCurrentPath = Dir
    Loop
End Sub
