Get Files in Directory (including subdirectories) by craigsboyd
faq184-4256
Posted: 4 Oct 03 (Edited 18 Feb 05)

Slighthaze = NULL



The following code will fill up the array aryFiles with a list of all the files (fullpath) in the selected directory (including subdirectories).  Besides being useful it is a good example of using recursion.  No external DLLs or COM objects are required, this solution is pure VFP.  The SET STEP ON line is so that you can easily see the resultant array in the debugger's LOCALS window.  Cut-n-paste the code below into a prg file and run it from within VFP to see how it works.

Dimension aryFiles(1)
=GetAllFiles(GETDIR(), @aryFiles)
SET STEP ON

FUNCTION GetAllFiles(cDirectory, aryParam)
    LOCAL ARRAY aryTemp(1,5)
    LOCAL nCount, nMax, nLen, cFile
    SET DEFAULT TO (cDirectory)
    =ADIR(aryTemp, "*.*","AHRSD",1)
    nMax = ALEN(aryTemp,1)
    FOR nCount = 1 TO nMax
        cFile = ALLTRIM(aryTemp(nCount,1))
        IF !(cFile == ".") AND !(cFile == "..")
            IF "D" $ aryTemp(nCount,5)
                =GetAllFiles(ADDBS(cDirectory + cFile), @aryParam)
            ELSE
                nLen = ALEN(aryParam)
                IF !EMPTY(aryParam(nLen))
                    DIMENSION aryParam(nLen + 1)
                    nLen = nLen + 1
                ENDIF
                aryParam(nLen) = cDirectory + cFile
            ENDIF
        ENDIF
    ENDFOR
ENDFUNC
