quick list of directories..
 

I'm looking for a quick way to get a list of directories.

I first tried this type of scheme from the Scripting.FileSystemObject 's

Set f = fs.getfolder(stDir)
Set fc = f.SubFolders

but that seems to run really slowly for any directory with a couple of
hundred subfolders.

I also tried the Dir function with the vbDirectory set as the attribute.

That gets the directories, but it gets them along with the files (ahah! I
think that will work for specifically what I'm doing now, now that I think
about it again).

But I'd still like to know a faster way to get only the subfolder names, if
someone knows one.

Thanks.

Afaik Dir is as fast as it gets in Windows. See

for code.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Thanks, Harald.

I think "If GetAttr(sPath & sDirName) = vbDirectory " will do exactly what I
need, at a good speed. The f.Subfolders property I mentioned first was
unusably slow.

Thanks for your help.
