Scan a folder for all music files and add them to a list

Use the file-folder object > start a folder/file browsing loop > ON Loop: Add Line to List (Filename)

then when User-Double Clicks list: Play MP3 with DirectShow object (filename: current selected (list))

After the above operation, you can then run another fast loop checking for the extension of each line like so:

Fastloop("ScanList") (Nr of Lines Times):

+On Loop Scanlist:
+(List.Number(Fastloop.index)) <> Right$(".mp3", 4): Delete (List.line)

Excellent, glad to be of assistance!

Sorry to dig up this thread, but I'm doing something similar except using .xml files.

I was able to list all the files in the folders and subfolders with the "FileFolder Object" extension. But I didn't understand how to use "FastLoop" to delete all non-.xml files from the list.

can anybody help me?

Just use List object Load filelist action, type a path followed by *.xml (or whatever filetype you need)

The List Object Load filelist action does not search in subfolders :(.

I am dealing with the following situation:

MainFolder\Folder1\file.xml
MainFolder\Folder1\file1.dat
MainFolder\Folder1\file2.dat
MainFolder\Folder1\file3.dat
MainFolder\Folder2\file.xml
MainFolder\Folder2\file1.dat
MainFolder\Folder2\file2.dat
MainFolder\Folder2\file3.dat
MainFolder\Folder3\file.xml
MainFolder\Folder3\file1.dat
MainFolder\Folder3\file2.dat
MainFolder\Folder3\file3.dat.
....

as I said, I can list all the files inside the main folder and in the subfolders. Now I want to list only the *.xml files.

Makes sense, if your folders are numbered tho you might be able to easily do it with List object still...
If it's not numbered, but at least it has only two levels (main folder and subfolder) you can have two lists one for each level and do the procedure.

PS: Não só Brasileiro como moderador hehe

Unfortunately the folder names are not sequential. They are random.

And the XML files won't always be in the first subfolder either.

EDIT:

SOLUTION:

I found a workaround.

I used the "String Parse 2 Object" in the fast loop for each line of the "list object". All that had "XML" as the last "string" (I used "." as delimiter") was added as a newline and another "list Object".

Well, it will work for what I need!

Thanks!

Use my extension.
Load file list will load recursively, and you can get the number of files and file at ID by expressions.
Then you can check each file by a fastloop then compare the extension name.

I was making a GUI batch encryption tool years ago, that's why I made this. (and end up to making the CLI version to use it in batch files, and avoid the Fusion memory limit. )
