Script to load contents of directory

[K1200]

Is it possible to have a script load a table with the names of all files currently in a specified Windows directory? I'm trying to inventory the directory by file types, so I don't need the contents of the files, only the names.

I thought I had seen an example of this posted on the forums, but numerous searches haven't come up with anything.

Thanks for any help.

Send Event []

"CMD /C DIR " & Table::FilePathField & " /B >dir.txt"

Pause 2 seconds

Import "dir.txt"

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, I've encountered a problem with the Import operation in that it insists on importing the filename into the ID field of the receiving table. The table only has two fields, ID (auto-serial) and Filename. I set it up to use Last Order, but on the next cycle, it reverts to Filename => ID so the user would have to realign it on every use. Not good.

Any ideas?

Update: I added the Perform Without Dialog option and the Filename => Filename selection seems to hold.
