Listing Folders

[dingdong]

How would i list the folder names in a certain directory in a combo box?

[reptilezero]

start of frame: Files > Load Directory List Appdrive$ + Appdir$ + "*."
Delete a Line 0
Delete a Line 0

you could replace Appdrive and Appdir with an absolute path also, such as "C:\program files\"

Ah thanks, dunno how i missed that..

So how would i get rid of the [ and ] either side of the Folder name?

Loop through each item in the list and use mid$ and len(gth) to only leave the actual text.

Well the folders can have variable lengths so what would i put? so far i have:

Mid$(Combo Select$( "Combo Box" ), 1, Len( Combo Select$( "Combo Box" ) - Str$( 2 ) )

But that doesnt seem to work?

Ah dont worry, ive worked it out by using a counter. Thanks for your help guys!

Cool. Here is another way:

you can do that,or you can simplify it by just using the
List SelDir$( "List" )
which just converts the current selected line from a directory (kinda easier if you ask me)
e.g. [mmfusion] to mmfusion
