not equals?

[yoyo]

Is there a way to do not equals? I tried <> and != and they give errors.
also, why do hidden system folders show up in Folder.Find? I have the option in XP to not show them, shouldn't AMS adhear to this?
If it doesn't, how do I not show Recycler and Sytem Volume Information in my listbox control?

THis is one of the reasons where I could use <>

tks

Hi. Try ~= :)

This and much more in the help files as seen here:

As for the other, you can easily add an IF statement to your listbox parser which checks for, and eliminates any occurences of, items which you would not like added to your listbox. Better yet, define this as a Global Function and you can use it anywhere in any of your projects without any clutter or hassles... That way you can easily add or edit items to be excluded as well. That's one idea anyhow...

Ya know, at first, I was reading and re-reading the help file and the whole time I thought not equals symbol was -= instead of ~= because of the small font in the help file. :eek:

Took me about a month to realize I needed new contacts :D
