Comparing File Names

[joltremari]

I have two file list boxes that I'm trying to compare the file names and add the like names to a ListBox. Can someone help me with looping thru these two file list to check for matches. I;ve gotten it to sort-of work a couple of times but no cigar yet.

Any help is appreciated.

try like this :

Private Sub Command1_Click()
If File1.FileName = File2.FileName Then
List1.AddItem File1.FileName
End If
End Sub

Yes that works, but that only tests the first file in the filelist. I need a way to test all the files.

Thanks,

i dont know how to do that but ill try to find out and Are you trying to do like a napster cleanup program ? If the fil names are the same you know which ones are right .

I have several directories that the files change from week to week. Each directory can have as many as 400 to 600 files in it at a time. It is not easy for me to go thru all those files looking for duplicate files. So I was trying to add something to an exsisting program I have so I can choose two directories and have it loop thru all the files, find duplicates, and put the duplicates into a listbox. I have all of this set up except I don't know how to loop thru two directories at the same time.

Thanks for your help,
