produces ONLY directory names dispite the fact that the help file says that it will produce files AND directories. In 7.0 it behaves as the help file says.

If you add a sub-directory with and extension to the parent, it won't be returned in your example.

adir( array, '*', 'D' )

produces different results in 5.0 and 7.0 from the same directory. In 5.0 it produces only NON-EXTENSION names, but in 7.0 it produces ALL names.

adir( array, '*.*', 'D' )

works the same in both versions.

>It's different because it changed in 6.0, not 7.0. Going all the way back to 2.0, however,

= ADIR(a_dir, "", 'D')

was the method used to retrieve only directorties. What this requires, of course, that you set the desired folder as the default (and naturally restore the original). However, since most directories didn't have extensions, people found that simply passing the path with a wildcard for the primary portion of the name would work as well. The documentation, however, never said to do it that way.


This is what I was originally looking for. I never used 6.0 and the documentation ONLY shows changes in behevior between 6.0 and 7.0. I'm looking for a list of behavior changes in 6.0.
