Hello Everybody!





Does somebody know how to count the number of the files contained into a 

folder?



I need to create a page for a photo gallery.

This page will have to build the thumbnails table adding one cell for each 

image file (thumbnail) contained in the thumbs folder.



I couldn't find anything in the archive of this forum.



Thank you everybody!



Gabriele

Did you look at the File System Object docs?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/vbscript/download/vbsdoc.exe



Cheers

Ken

Hi gabriele,



It is possible to count no of files in  a folder.

- first create filesystemobject.

- create folder object using getfolder method of filesysystem object(here 

give folder name).

- get files collection of folder object using files property of folder 

object

- you can get how many elelments present in a collection using count 

propery. and this will be ur no of files in the folder



The code will look like this



Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s, no

   Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec) 'ur folder name

   Set fc = f.Files

   no = fc.count 'no of files in the folder



Let me know is this worked or not.

Regards,

Prasad Patil(prasadpatil_asp@1...)

 use
