>Hi Jacci and Ko,
> Thanks for your valuable help. Played around with the syntax mentioned and managed to overcome the problem. However, I would also like to know how to read files from the subdirectories of a main dir when this main dir is chosen. I tried using the D attribute in the command adir() but to no avail. Hope you guys could suggest something. Thanks again.

Hi Siva,
If you look at the source code in "File Event Notification" in Recent Entries of the Files Section, you will find a function that will populate an array with all file details returned by ADIR() this will also recurse sub-folders. It also gets around the problem of ADIR( aToPolulate, cMask, "D" ) - where only directories that also match the mask are included.
Hope this helps,
Houston.
