How do I get the context of say the c:\ directory, say all files, into a text file using the adir() command? I have never used it.

You'll get a list of files in an array. It's easier to work with array than file.

DIMENSION laList[1]
lcDir = "C:\"
lnFiles = ADIR(laList, lcDir + "*.*")

VFP help is a good place to get details about ADIR() function.


>Alternatively, is there a way to make the following, stop asking me to select a folder each time I run it?

Pass directory you wand as a parameter to GetFolder method.

>	local oFSO, oFolder, oFile
>  clear
  lcDir = "C:\"
>  oFSO = crea('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
  oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(lcDir)
>  for each oFile in oFolder.Files
>    ?oFile.Name
> next
