Help in Listbox

[carlossequeira]

I intend to load the name of same games into a list box, the games are in one directory and sub directory.

I write the code above and only one game are load to the listbox.

I need too to only show the name of the game without the extension

ListBox.SetVisible("caixa1", true);

min = 1; -- The number to start at
max = 3; -- The number to stop at

for count = min, max do

data = File.Find("AutoPlay\\accao2", "*.exe", false, false, nil, nil);

ListBox.SetItemText("caixa1", count, data[count]);

ListBox.SetUpdate("caixa1", false);
end

Thanks for your help

Hello,

You need to trim the extension off the string before you do this:

ListBox.SetItemText("caixa1", count, data[count]);

One way to do that is with the String.TrimRight action. Or, you could search for the position of the '.' in the string, and do a String.Mid action to get everything up to that point.

But how can i retrive the other files with the loop for, because im populate only the first row.

Thanks

Hello,

I'd first do a File.Find to generate a table of all of the files. For example:

sFolder = _SourceDrive .. "\\Path\\To\\Your\\Folder";
tFiles = File.Find(sFolder, "*.*", true, false, nil, nil);

Then, you can add each item in that table:

for nItemNumber, sCompleteFilePath in tFiles do
    sFilenameNoExtension = String.SplitPath(sCompleteFilePath).Filename;
    ListBox.SetItemText("caixa1", sFilenameNoExtension, sCompleteFilePath);
end

The for loop above moves through the file list returned by the File.Find action one item at a time. It strips the filename from the path, stores that as the item text in the listbox, and uses the complete path for the item data.

I haven't tested this script, so it may need some tweaking, but give 'er a go.

Let me know if that's what you were looking for, or if i missed the mark.
