Re: How do I get a list of files on disc into JSL?

[chem engineer <chemical_engr@yahoo.com>]

Kyle:

Unfortunately directory file list access is not posible in JSL.

However, if you look carefully (via google) ... you can find a little .dll extension

that gives you the rudiments to do file access. Oh heck ... why not be generous ...

http://www.aracnet.com/~cmorgan/gzdll_driver/ is the link to find a key tool

which can help you solve your problem.

 

If you have specific questions on how to make this work for you ... email me.

But if you look at the info at the link carefully and think about it ... you should be

able to accomplish your stated goal.
