R>PLUGINS LoadFileNamePlus.rbl VarName |fullpath on |FILTER text files 
(n*.pdf)#n*.pdf

This will find all files that start with  n  and have  .pdf

VarName will contain the name of the file that you click on.

   Hi Bernie,
  Both of those come with RBase 7.6. I could not figure out how to use them to 
get a list of file names into a table in a single step. Is there a way to use 
these plugins to retrieve a filename (even one at a time, then I could use them 
within a loop to get each filename) without the user having to click on each 
filename? 

  Any thoughts on why my method fails during a trace but does just fine during 
a run?

    Hi Michael,

    Do you have LoadFileName.rbl  or  LoadFileNamePlus.rbl  ?

      Hi All,

      I am using Rbase 7.6, latest build.
      I am trying to load a list of file names into a table. The method I am 
using seems to work just fine when I run the command, but fails (nothing loads 
into the table) while I am doing a trace. The program is run from within an 
EEP.  Here is my code....

      ERASE dir.txt
      OUTPUT dir.txt
      DIR .vfromspec
      OUTPUT SCREEN
      DELETE FROM asciitxt2
      LOAD asciitxt2 FROM dir.txt AS FORMATTED USING textdata 1 80
      EDIT ALL FROM asciitxt2

      The contents of dir.txt is as follows....


       Volume in drive g is 320GB
       Volume Serial Number is 8464-4871
       Directory of g:\docs\1913\labs\
      02/20/2010  10:43 PM   <DIR>             .
      02/20/2010  10:43 PM   <DIR>             ..
      11/28/2009  03:02 PM               9,618 labs_1913_0001.pdf
                 1 File(s)               9,618 bytes
                 2 Dir(s)       28,672,167,936 bytes free


      Why won't this work for me during a trace? Is there a better way to load 
a list of filename from a folder into a table?
