[JScript]

The following example illustrates how to get a Files collection and iterate the collection using the Enumerator object and the for statement:

[JScript]
function ShowFolderFileList(folderspec)
{
   var fso, f, f1, fc, s;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
   fc = new Enumerator(f.files);
   s = "";
   for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
   {
      s += fc.item();
      s += "<br>";
   }
   return(s);
}

[VBScript]

The following code illustrates how to get a Files collection and iterate the collection using the For Each...Next statement:

[VBScript]
Function ShowFolderList(folderspec)
   Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
   Set fc = f.Files
   For Each f1 in fc
      s = s & f1.name 
      s = s & "<BR>"
   Next
   ShowFolderList = s
End Function
