pass more than one argument to countfiles

Post by migro » Sun Jul 24, 2016 3:27 am

I want to count all files in one directory which matches the following extensions (.bmp, .tif, .jpg).
Is it possible to pass a group of filetypes as an argument to countfiles?
What I want is to avoid looping 3 times to the directory in this case.

No, sorry, you'd need to use CountFiles for each filetype and sum the results.

Hi Marcus!

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I'm doing in the moment.

Can you take: "Passing several filetypes/extension to countfiles" as an feature request for later/upcoming versions?
