No objections - I was simply looking for a possible native rev answer.
Every day's a school day and - sometimes - if you don't ask, you don't
find out!

John,
I hate to keep the thread going, but what was the objection to using a
shell call? You can easily get a directory listing with filters and
even hide the shell window ... might be faster than the other
approaches if you're talking about a huge list of "the detailed
files." And, instead of calling it once every iteration of a loop, you
could do a "dir /s" to grab a whole tree and then process it with
Rev's chunk expressions before you start looping.

Hi, Stephen. I'm very comfortable with rev. It became my 'weapon of
choice' very quickly once I discovered it.
economic: using the minimum of time or resources necessary for
effectiveness
One example is needing the size of a file in a folder of thousands.
Creating the output generated by 'the files' is not economical in
this case.
However, as discussed in the thread, the same output can facilitate a
speedy routine if the entire output is required. Both have merit.
I had already 'rolled my own' as I didn't see another option, but
wondered if there was another way I hadn't discovered - hence the
original post.
