HI,

Check the syntax of the GETFILELIST.


GetFileList>.......\*.csv,file,%CRLF%. There is no result variable in your script!

GetFileList>filespec,result[,delimiter] . From help file

Hope this helps.

Michael,

No, I don't think Getfilelist will give you an alphabetized list. However, you can work around it with DOS.

your concise eloquent line:

GetFileList>\\Emfile0009c02\strve-f03$\BFS\SATELLITE\NOC Requests\Bendigo NOC requests\%the_year%\Urgent Account Recs\*.csv,file,%CRLF%

can be replaced by the cumbersome but workable:

let>RP_WAIT=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=2
Run>cmd /c dir \\Emfile0009c02\strve-f03$\BFS\SATELLITE\NOC Requests\Bendigo NOC requests\%the_year%\Urgent Account Recs\*.csv /on /b > c:\~dirlist~
Readfile>c:\~dirlist~,file
DeleteFile>c:\~dirlist~


The "/on" in the DOS "dir" command will give you an alphabetized list of file names. If you want to know other options go to a DOS prompt and type DIR /? and press return. for example you can sort by date or reverse order date or reverse order alphabetized or you can get only directory names or reverse order alphabetized directory names. Lots of options.

Hope this helps,
Dick

Also consider the DOS SORT command for any file vs. a directory listing.

See SORT /? | more in a Command Window.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
