Glen,
Yes, it is possible but two corrections are needed in your code.
1. The concatenated pathname string to access a folder must include a file
separator character at the end, as below.
2. Your string assignment for 'sumacros' already uses 'getDirectory()' so
it's not needed again in your second line
This will access the folder named 'Startup_macros' with no intervening
Dialog window:
__________
sumacros=getDirectory("macros")+"Startup_macros"+File.separator;
if (File.exists(sumacros)) {
list = getFileList(sumacros);
for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
if (endsWith(list[i],'/'))
print(list[i]+' is a folder');
else
print(list[i]+' is a file');
}
print('');
}
else
showMessage('The directory '+sumacros+' was not found.');
