Michael,
You really should look at the Power Plugins for this. The options for listing, filtering and capturing filename, extension, etc. are too many to list. And there are examples that show you how to do it all and you can cut copy & paste into your code and be running in minutes.

It works good for reports and forms too. Dan Goldberg From: Michael J.

For example, from a command prompt, I can type... DIR /O:d or DIR /O:-d and the output will sort the filenames by date, oldest to newest or newest to oldest. Can that be done from with Rbase 9.1?
