Hello,

This some basic question

although i can't get it work

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.rar,filelist

i suppose all *.rar file names are printed into the file 'filelist'. Well nothing happens. I don't find such file in temp-dir or macroscheduler dir

thanks for your help

Guess there's the fault

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.rar,c:\temp\filelist.txt

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.rar,filelistCorrect so far. The param "fileslist" isn't for an output filename, but it's a variable name.

If you check out the GetFileList example in the help file, it says something like this:GetFileList>c:\temp\*.rar,filelist
Separate>filelist,;,file_names
MessageModal>Number of files found: %file_names_count%

Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Let>k=k+1
Let>currentfile=file_names_%k%
Message>File %k% of %file_names_count%%CRLF%%currentfile%
Until>k,file_names_countInstead of displaying the message, you could FTP the file, delete it, save it's filename to the last line of a text file, etc.
