How to Get a List of Subfolders

Keywords:   list subfolders searcher

1. If just need a list of the immediate subfolders....Use DirItemize("*.*")
2. If you need a list of all the subfolders all the way down...

   AddExtender("wsrch34I.dll")
   topdir="c:\incoming"
   ;xyz used as it is an uncommon extension
   ;we're not really looking for files
   handle=srchInit(topdir, "*.xyz", "", "", 16+32)
   
   dirlist=""
   
   while 1
      thisdir=srchNext(handle)
      if thisdir=="" then break
      ;make sure it a dir and not an xyz file
      if strsub(thisdir,strlen(thisdir),1) != "\" then continue
      if dirlist=="" then dirlist=thisdir
      else dirlist=StrCat(dirlist,@tab,thisdir)
   endwhile
   
   AskItemList("subfolders",dirlist,@tab,@unsorted,@single)
