Does anyone know if there's a way to determin the difference between files and folders with the GLOB function, or is there a better way to return the contents of a folder?

I have tried this:

CODE

say(chdir("c:\"));

While( (filename = Glob("*")) != "" )
     say(filename);
End;
      
Repeat
     Frame;
Until(key(_ESC))

But that does not appear to distinguish between files and folders returned .

No idea. However, you can try and chdir into the returned results which seems to return 0 if a directory and and an int (possibly always positive and maybe its constant also?) when trying to chdir into a file. I have no idea if thats the right way to do it but it seems to work in the quick test i've done.

Use Fileinfo.

CODE

#ifdef COMPILER_VERSION
     import "mod_say"
     import "mod_dir"
#endif

Process Main()
Private
     string filename;
Begin
     While( (filename = Glob("*")) != "")
         if(Fileinfo.directory)
             say("[DIR]  " + filename);
         else
             say("[FILE] " + filename);
         end
     End
End

Thanks Sandman, that's exactly what I am looking for
