Filesystem object

**tonya** · 01-21-2009, 06:23 PM

Is there a way to break my list of files in a folder into chunks???

So instead of 60 files I can have 6 pages of ten or 3 pages of twenty or whatever ???

I have only ever done paging with recordsets from a database

I am writing code from scratch so anyone with any new code or code tips please advise.

Code:

<% 
    folder = "C:\" 
 
    set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.fileSystemObject") 
    set fold = fso.getFolder(folder) 
    for each file in fold.files 
        response.write file.name & "<br>" 
    next 
    set fold = nothing: set fso = nothing 
%>

Great thanks for that - if you want to see what I have so far let me know - if not full code examples are great - I will try & read & understand so I can tailor to fit what I need

The folders actually contain pictures & I will eventually use the file name to create a thumbnail of the picture

Its a gallery script project I am working on for a small company who can't find any online utilities that work for them & want the code for their intranet system.

Have fun

6 or 7 years ago I built a photo gallery for this site using the FSO to read the files and folders.

Thanks for the peek

I can see how it works & I want to make it look similar to the one you see on here.

The process of listing the files fitted with some good styling should hopefully give a nice smart result. I have worked it onto something basic but I really want to get it possibly sorting by date or name of file and also be able to page through the results so you dont end up with too many thumbnails trying to download on one page.

Its keeping me busy thats for sure - the graphics & styling is turning out to be just as much work hence sat here at 11pm lol

Here's a thread discussing the same issue you're having along with sample code. You're going to have to store the full list of files to an array and then break it up in chunks and display it that way. Also, creating an array container will also allow you to sort the lists instead of depending on the server/computer's default file system sort:
