| filehandle = valid filehandle assigned from the ReadDir command |

Once you are finished with NextFile$ on the directory previously opened for read with the ReadDir command, use this command to close the directory. This is good programming practice!

; ReadDir/NextFile$/CloseDir example
; Define what folder to start with ... folder$="C:" ; Open up the directory, and assign the handle to myDir myDir=ReadDir(folder$) ; Let's loop forever until we run out of files/folders to list! Repeat ; Assign the next entry in the folder to file$ file$=NextFile$(myDir) ; If there isn't another one, let's exit this loop If file$="" Then Exit ; Use FileType to determine if it is a folder (value 2) or a file and print results If FileType(folder$+"\"+file$) = 2 Then Print "Folder:" + file$ Else Print "File:" + file$ End If Forever ; Properly close the open folder CloseDir myDir ; We're done! Print "Done listing files!" |
