File List from Workstation

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a list of files from specific directory, say c:\temp\, on the presentation server (workstation).

What is the best way to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can use the method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES in the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hello,

Try this FM:

TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

Pass Directory = 'C:\temp\'

Filler = '.'

Hi Sandeep,

The method <b>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES</b> of class <b>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES</b> will gives you list of files in a given directory on work station.

Give your directory c:\temp\ to Import parameter <b>DIRECTORY</b> and it will gives list of files in <b>FILE_TABLE</b> and number of files in COUNT.

Thanks,
