File Counting and Item Counting Loop

Keywords:  file count counter  

---

Question:

How do I set up a file counter in a WinBatch Script?

Answer:

Code to replace the following DOS command:

>>> FOR %%J in (C:\*.EXE)  DO ECHO %%J

First you'll itemize all the EXE files in your root directory, and then do an itemcount on them.

List = FileItemize("C:\*.EXE")        ; get file list
FileCount=ItemCount( List, @TAB)      ; TAB for file list delimiter
for FileIndex = 1 to FileCount
         ThisFile= ItemExtract( FileIndex, List, @TAB)
         Message(FileCount, ThisFile)
next
