how to determine number of files in directory? array question

[Bart Plessers \(artabel\)]

Hello,

I have an asp script that lists the files in a directory:

CurrentPATH = "c:\temp\"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPATH)
Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files
For Each oFileItem in oFolder.Files
.....
next


However,
before doing the "For..Next" loop, I want to determine the number of files
in oFolderContents.

How can I do this?
Is there another way to determine the number of files in a given directory?

The Files collection has a .Count() property that returns the number of
Files in the collection;

obj.Files.Count()

where obj is a Folder object. Check the WSH reference, which you can
download from here:

Hi ken,

thanx for quick reply.

However, I can't get away with the syntax.
Can you clearify a little bit?
Maybe provide the correct syntax for my example below?

: CurrentPATH = "c:\temp\"
: Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
: Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPATH)
: Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files
: For Each oFileItem in oFolder.Files
: .....
: next

tia

sorry, found it already with your VERY helpfull link!!

syntax:
MyCount = oFolderContents.count

without the brackets...


thanx a lot again

Sorry about the brackets - I was just "quoting from memory" - obviously I
got it a little bit wrong! Glad you got it working!

Cheers
