detect folder empty

[channelmaster]

Hello! How do we know if the folder is empty. I used the code below to get the directory and i want to prompt the user that the folder chosen is empty.

mSelectdir = GETDIR("","Select Directory&quot

thanks for any help.

It's not clear whether you want to know if they didn't a directory (they canceled out) or they choose a directory, but it didn't have any files in it.

In the first case, just check the variable mSelectdir for EMPTY().

In the second, do an ADIR(aFiles, Addbs(mSelectdir)+"*.*&quot and if it will return the number of files in this directory.
