I am trying to list the contents of each folder using the following code. It works fine, but I would like to be able to access certain elements of oFolder.Files (see code below). Is this created as an array - if so, how could I list for example file 50-100 only?

Thanks - Nathan

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

CurrentPath = Server.MapPath("/message_boards/posts/")

Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPath)
Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files

For Each oFileItem in oFolder.Files

        witeout file name

next

Don't think you can index it as in the past, I've seen routines to load the filelist into an array. For your situation, you may want to try something like this

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") CurrentPath = Server.MapPath("/message_boards/posts/") Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPath) Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files dim i i = 0 For Each File in oFolder.Files      i = i+1      If i > 49 and i < 101 then           Response.Write file.Name  & "<br />"      end if next Set oFolder = Nothing Set oFolderContents = Nothing Set oFSO = Nothing

You'd probably want to check oFolderContents.count to make sure it was =/> than 50 and =/< 100 before doing the loop. - something like:

Dim starti Dim endi If oFolderContents.count < 50 then     starti = oFolderContents.count else     starti = 49 End If If oFolderContents.count < 100 then      endi = oFolderContents.count Else     endi = 101 End If

Then in the For loop, change 49 and 101 to starti and endi respectively.

Perfect - thanks for that DP - exactly what I needed.

Cheers

I have just run into a  small problem. The files are always sorted Alphabetically whereas I need them sorted with the latest first. Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks again.

Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files

There's no direct way to sort using FSO. The two indiect ways that are often used are to put the info into an array and sort the array - for dates, you'll need a two dimensional array, or put the info into a recordset and sort the record set.

You also have to figure out which FSO date you want to use. for an FSO File object, you have:
    .DateCreated
  .DateLastModified
  .DateLastAccessed

AspFaqs had some tutorials on array sorting. A google for asp fso sort would turn up more.
