Hey,

Is there a command present that returns the amount of files in a folder?
Like:

+ Code Snippet

tFiles = Get File Count("Data\Images")
For i = 0 to tFiles
   Load File [file name here, need to figure this out as well]
Next i

Thanks!

Try this (adapted from the help file example

):

+ Code Snippet

perform checklist for files

print checklist quantity()

for t = 1 to checklist quantity()
  print "file ", t, " = ", checklist string$(t)
next t

wait key
end

I don't know about a command like that, but you could count them with the FIND FIRST (jumps to the very first in the folder), FIND NEXT (jumps one, and you should repeat it until it says no files left) commands i guess... after you set the working directory with SET DIR.

Haven't tried it but if i needed to count files i would start with this.
