List All Files Recursively (A Lot of files!)

[mvoogt]

I've got an archive server that I'd like to get the path of every file in a list. The function 'List All Files Recursively' can do this. The problem is that there are 1.2 million files in the directory. Is there an economical way to get this in a list in filemaker? The function just seams to choke (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Hi mvoogt, 

Are you getting any errors when you call the function? What are you seeing exactly when the function "chokes"? 1.2 million files is a lot of text, I would not be surprised if the plugin is either running out of memory or it is just taking a significant amount of time to build the list of files and just appears to be a hang . In the case of out of memory, you can increase the memory allocation for the plugin by following the instructions here.
