Hi Arcs,

thanks to:

Valéria Prisco, for sending a project with a dialog to choose a directory;
Mike Lent, Chris Garrard, Rick Petrecca and Pieter Geert van den Beukel,
for pointing to the methods: aFilename.Read and .ReadFiles.

ML:
Look up the FILENAME class in the AV help and look at the SetCWD, READ, and
READFILES methods.
You should be able to do what you need with those.

CG:
Look up the FILENAME class in the AV help and look at the SetCWD, READ, and
READFILES methods.
You should be able to do what you need with those.

RP:
Try the request aFileName.ReadFiles. This should do what you wish. The
documentation for the request is under the FileName topic in the Avenue
help file.

PG:
You can use the request ReadFiles in Avenue:
fnmDir = "c:\temp".AsFileName
lstFiles = fnmDir.ReadFiles("*.*")
msgbox.ListAsString(lstFiles,"All files in the directory","")
regards,

Cheers,

Uwe
