iterate all drawings in a folder (and sub-folders)
hi,
i'm looking for some sample code that will find all .slddrw files in a folder and it's sub-folders, then place them into an array so that i can iterate through them one by one.
i've looked in the api help samples but havn't found anything yet...
thanks!

two ways that i know of:
use the dir in visual basic following is a sample. change your path to what your folder is. this sample only get the one folder.
sub main()
'gets drawing files
dim filepath as string
dim filename as string
filepath = "c:\solidworks working\04-14-08\"
filename = dir(filepath & "*.slddrw")
do while filename <> ""
filename = dir
debug.print filename
loop
end sub
or check out the filesystemobject in visual basic. you will need to load the reference which is under tools/references and is called "microsoft scripting runtime". check help for folder objects.

in vb.net:
imports system.io
sub getallfiles(byval directorypath as string)
dim filecount as integer
dim dircount as integer
dim arrfilenames as string()
dim arrdirectories as string()
dim currentdir as string
currentdir = directorypath
arrfilenames = directory.getfiles(currentdir, "*.slddrw")
for filecount = 0 to ubound(arrfilenames)
allfilenames.add(arrfilenames(filecount))
next
arrdirectories = directory.getdirectories("r:\solidworks\")
for dircount = 0 to ubound(arrdirectories)
getallfiles(currentdir & arrdirectories(dircount))
next
end sub
