Well i got this code from RabidWombat once, duno but maybe it's wath you looking for...

The first problem is getting the files inside of the folder. To do this we use:

execute("dir /a-d /b > files.txt");

This will write all of the files in the current folder in bare format into "files.txt":

filename1.txt
filename2.txt
etc...

Now you parse that file and grab the names.

Hmmm, what i want is, so when you move a txt file to a particalar folder, the script checks this folder and if there are any files, it checks the files and returns the names

this is all because i have a big plan that may just help out with all the scripters with big bots :o)

Gekko, Robocop, CB, Meanmachine, Brutus, DarkMind

and many others...... :o)

but...... until i find away i cant show you the great idea ;)

but its so hard to find away

ive just been chatting with pur, and and looks like you are right, seems pur, just woke me up properly lol, and told me about the writing of all files, so thanx a bunch m8 :o)

aprreciated, now i will start trying top get my idea to work, if i get it to work you wil know ;)

[Optimus]

sure no prob m8

I'm getting curious lol... )

[pHaTTy]

so from that how wud i check another folder such as

files/folders/

[plop]

maby this can help you, it's a bat file wich does the trick.

@echo off
dir tricky %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad "%temp%\Listing"

tricky is a folder, the result is send 2 notepad.
i believe i found this stuff on the M$ site.
you can just execute the bat from the script.

[pHaTTy]

no  dir needs the command prompt 2 run in.
it's a lua timer not ptokax.
if it would be ptokax you could have only 1 timer over all the scripts, but as you know you have 1 timer in every script (yes ok with tricks you can have more).
every script is launched in it's own virtual machine.

okey,  thanks :)...   I thaught maybe one could hide the command promt...

btw  do you have the function  of the timer, cause I have problems to get it to work in LUA.

too bad that there is no dir function in luas itsself actually or?
