Recursively retrieve files in a folder

[virux]

hi!

anybody who knows how to to recursively retrieve the file names found inside a particular folder?

Use the FindFirstFile and the FindNextFile API functions.
There is a good example on http://www.vbapi.com.

Hope that is some help.

actually i've found a way to my problem. for this piece of code to work, you must have 2 file list box on a form, called UploadedFile and CheckedFile. it will retrieve the first file from UploadedFile, process it and move it over to CheckedFile. in this way i can get hold to each of the file, one at a time. one feature that i wanted to achieve has been successful too: to add files while i'm processing a file at the same time. that's why i've the Refresh function to constantly check if there's any new file.



Private Sub Start_Click()

On Error Resume Next

UploadedFile.Refresh
UploadedFile.ListIndex = 0

While UploadedFile.ListCount > 0

'Process the first file here

FileCopy Source, Destination
Kill Source

UploadedFile.Refresh
UploadedFile.ListIndex = 0
CheckedFile.Refresh

Wend

End Sub
