Did you know that with Troi File Plug-in you can easily see which files or folders are in a folder?
You can get this list easily into FileMaker Pro with the TrFile_ListFolder( ) function. In ScriptMaker add this script step to a script:
Set Field [ result, TrFile_ListFolder( “-Files -Folders” ; “Mac HD:”) ]
This will return a text list of all files and folders on the hard disk “Mac HD”. The two switches -Files and -Folders indicate you want both types returned. This might return for example this:
Test.fmp12
Desktop Folder
Program files
Financial report.xls
and so on…
Troi plug-ins are cross-platform so you can also use it on Windows like this:
Set Field [ result, TrFile_ListFolder( “-Files” ; “C:\Data") ]
This will return a list of all files (but not the folders) on the hard disk “C:\Data”.
