ReadDir is a powerful command for the collecting of files/folders within a directory. The scanning can also be customized to filter out user defined file types & file names and can automatically recursively locate and sort files within the select directory.       The Files & Folder names located by ReadDir are stored within an internal array. You can query the list using the GetDirSize, GetDir$, GetDirFile$, GetDirFolder$ commands FACTS:       * Recursively finding all the files in a path can be very slow ! In particular, when trying to locate all the files in on a hard drive for example. If that's what you want, then we strongly recommend using a different approach, as your application will dead while it's off brute force scanning the device. (See FirstFile$) Usage Example:       This example simply lists the files and folders on your the C: drive.      ThisDir$="C:\"      // Check this location exists   If FolderExist(ThisDir$)            // Read all the files and sort them      ReadDir ThisDIr$,"",0,1            // display the results      For Files=0 To GetDirSize()-1         If GetDirFileType(files)=1            Print GetDirFile$(files)         EndIf      Next         EndIf       ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey
