Getting a list locations for all files in a folder

I'm looking for a way to get a list of file locations for all files in a specified folder, whether within filemaker pro or in some format I can use to import them into filemaker (such as a text file containing the list). I've tried the Troi file plugin which will list the filenames but not the path. I've also tried versions 6 and 7 of FileMaker which only work on text files or common image files, not the .ai files I need to get a list of. Lol, I'm stuck building this database of 30,000+ files by hand if I can't find a way to do it automatically.

If you have the path to the folder, and the file names, then you just add the folder path to the file names to get the file paths, with either a script or calculation (Substituting on the carriage return between them).

What platform and FM version are you using?
