Get Next Filename into a string (or array) - GTC - 02-26-2023

I need to open each of the files present in a given folder/directory and process them one by one.

A crude way would be to use DIR to create a text file containing all of the file names, then read that to obtain each of the filenames, line by line.

However, I'm wondering if QB64 has a function to Get Next Filename into a string that can be called in a loop until there are no more files in the directory?

Hi, use direntry.h by Steve for get all files in directory to array. Dir to file returns different results depending on the version used operating system. Direntry.h is here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=68
