Hi all,

Back looking at the GetDirectoryTree() function - in the current one I have (based on code by Doug Hennig and Tamar), the code does a CD to change to the appropriate directory first (at least the code that I have - they might have improved it later). (it seems to me that "CD" is kinda a "klunky" way to do this).

But I thought, is there no way to get a list of directories using ADIR with also a file path as the "base" folder to start with? It seems not - not unless I have not yet figured out how to call ADIR()

This works (their code):

CD (tcBasePath)
ADIR(laTest,[],"D")

These did not work (i.e. no change of directory first) as they always returned no folders or both the files and folders in that directory:

ADIR(laTest,"F:\Office\Templates","D")
ADIR(laTest,"F:\Office\Templates\","D")
ADIR(laTest,"F:\Office\Templates\*","D")

It seems as though ADIR() is not respecting the "D" argument - unless that means "folders in ADDITION to the files.
