(vl-directory-files" path" "ext" )
if all files simpli put ext "*.*"

 

How to make a list of existing file names in specified directory?
I dont need standard AutoCAD file dialog box (GETFILED).

For eample there are files: data1.txt, data2.txt, ... dataN.txt in
directory .../Data/

How to filter files and get a list: ("data1.txt" "data2.txt" ...
"dataN.txt")?

Please any sugestions...

 

Thanks "agruno"!
It works great.

 

Use the old MS-DOS:

(command "shell" "dir *.txt /b >file.lst")

This will make a file called file.lst with all txt files.
You can open this file and read all filenames.

Be carefull: I don't know what will happen if there are spaces in the used
path like:

(command "shell" "dir c:\program files\autocad 2004\support\*.pat /b
