Counting files in a folder (exclude shortcuts .lnk) Topic is solved

[andy_BSZY]

I would like to count the files in a folder but omit counting the shortcuts (.lnk). The code from @boiler here works very well but it also counts shortcuts in the folder, I wish it didn't count this. I would like to add to the code the option to exclude files with the extension .lnk

Code: Select all

Count := 0
Loop Files, A_Desktop "\test\*.*", "F" ; remove the R to not recurse into subfolders
	Count++
MsgBox(Count " files found.")

Loop Files, A_Desktop "\test\*.*", "F" ; remove the R to not recurse into subfolders
	if (A_LoopFileExt != "lnk")
		Count++
MsgBox(Count " files found.")
