Version: 3.0

The Files collection contains a set of File objects and is usually stored as a property of another object, such as a Folder object.

Examples

Code:

<% 
Dim filesys, demofolder, fil, filecoll, filist 
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Set demofolder = filesys.GetFolder("foldername") 
Set filecoll = demofolder.Files 
For Each fil in filecoll 
filist = filist fil.name 
filist = filist "<BR>" 
Next 
Response.Write filist 
%>

Explanation:

This code demonstrates how to get a Files collection and list the contents in the browser.

Properties

Count

Syntax: object.Count

Returns an integer that tells us how many File objects there are in the collection.

Item

Syntax: object.Item ("filename") [= itemvalue]

The Item property allows us to retreive the value of an item in the collection designated by the specified key argument and also to set that value by using itemvalue.
