Summary

The FILES object reads a list of files from a specified directory into a TMS-like table called FILES. The following code steps through a list of files and displays each file name in a message box. Fields used by the FILES object need to be defined in the application.

Sample Code

FUNCTION START START
{
    LOAD SUBAP    xteb xctrl
    INIT BASE

    # What file mask? Can use expressions
    SET ddamask '[A-Z_a-z/0-9]*\.* *'

    # What file directory?
    SET inputdir 'C:\mydir'

    fill FILES

    NOCURR FILES
    repeat {
        NEXT FILES
        FERROR BASE filebasename(filename)
    }
}

FUNCTION fill FILES
{
    PUSHDIR FILES inputdir
    SRCCLEAR FILES
    == filetype 'FILE'
    == filereadable 'yes'
    LOG BASE ddamask
    REGEXP filename ddamask
    SELECT FILES
}

FIELD ddamask    string(32)
FIELD inputdir    string(250)

# Fields for FILES pseudo table object
