Get filename full path

[CenturyMan1979]

So I have a small script that I call to get the list of file in a particular directory,

Code: Select all

function getListOfFiles pDir
   
   local tOldDir, tFiles
   
   put the directory into tOldDir
   set the directory to pDir
   put the files into tFiles
   set the directory to tOldDir
   return tFiles
   
end getListOfFiles

Only thing is that the returned files are only the names of the files. Is there some way of getting the list with full paths without appending it in the function myself? Some paths are relative and others are absolute if that makes a difference.

Hi CenturyMan1979,

Is there some way of getting the list with full paths without appending it in the function myself?

in short, no

"the files" always returns the bare filenames, you need to take care of adding the missing part of the absolute filename.

Hi CenturyMan1979,

You can use a custompropertie of a control or a local variable to keep the path of the folder

put the directory & "/" & line 1 of the files --i prefer to use 'the defaultFolder' because it describes better what it contains, but whatever works

without appending it in the function

Is there some reason you need to avoid this?

Just curious if there was something out there already that could be used like, put the filepath & itemDel & the filename of me . Turns out there is not.
