Syntax

Description
The ADIR() function returns the number of files which match the specified file skeleton. The following 'wild card' characters can be used:
| Character | Description |
|---|---|
| ? | Matches any one character. |
| % | Matches any one character. |
| * | Matches zero or more characters. |
The ADIR() function may also be used to load file information into arrays.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| <skeleton> | The character string specifying the file skeleton. |
| <array1> | The name of a pre-declared array in which to load the character string file names that match the specified skeleton. |
| <array2> | The name of a pre-defined array in which to load the numeric type file size in bytes of the files that match the specified skeleton. |
| <array3> | The name of a pre-defined array in which to load the date type creation date of the files that match the specified skeleton. |
| <array4> | The name of a pre-defined array in which to load the character type creation time of the files matching the specified skeleton. |
| <array5> | The name of a pre-defined array. This option has been added for compatibility purposes only. An element containing the character string "A" will be loaded for each file that matches the specified skeleton. |
If the compatibility setting is set to FoxPro, SET COMPATIBLE TO FOXPRO, ADIR() is fully compatible with FoxPro syntax and behavior.
Example
declare files[adir("*.dbf")] nTables = adir("*.dbf",files)
Products
Recital Server, Recital
