Loop, Files

[Vh_]

Hi,

I'm wanting to get a full list of folder names within a folder, then loop through those and read the files within them.

To retrieve the list of folders, I tried this example with no luck:

Code: Select all

Loop, Files, C:\Users\%_UserName%\Desktop, D
{
	Msgbox, %A_LoopFileName% ;only brings back "Desktop"
}
ExitApp

How can I make this tell me each folder name that exists on the desktop?

[garry]

show folders on desktop without subfolders

Code: Select all

Loop, Files,%a_desktop%\*.*, D
msgbox, 262208, ,%A_LoopFileName%,1
ExitApp
esc::exitapp

all folders with fullpath

Code: Select all

Loop, Files,%a_desktop%\*.*, DR
msgbox, 262208, ,%a_loopfiledir%\%A_LoopFileName%,1
ExitApp
esc::exitapp

collect to variable e

Code: Select all

Loop, Files,%a_desktop%\*.*, DR
  e .= a_loopfiledir . "\" . A_LoopFileName . "`r`n"
msgbox,%e%  
ExitApp
esc::exitapp
