CFileList:Count

The Count method returns the number of files in the CFileList object. This is often useful as a loop counter when iterating over the file list.

Syntax

nFiles = CFindFiles:Count()

nFiles is the number of files in the file list.

Returns 0 if no files are found.

Example

The following script creates a CFileList object from the file named sFileName. Then it iterates through the file list, returning each name from the list. Note that Next returns the next file name as a string, so you should not hide its return value by using it as a loop counter.

F = new_filelist( sFileName )	-- Create a new CFileList from the file sFileName
while n = 1, F:Count() do	-- step through the file list
str = F:Next()	-- save the next file name
Printf("%s\r\n", str )	-- list the file name
-- do something with the file name
end
