Hi All,
I'm trying to find a way to capture a string containing the pathname of a folder's subfolder. For example, assume the root directory has two subfolders, named "mynewstuff" and "myoldstuff", but you (the programmer) don't know these names ahead of time. What code would produce a string array containing (at element 0) "c:\mynewstuff\" and (at element 1) "c:\myoldstuff"? My goal is to create an array containing the pathnames of all the folders on the computer (and network if present). This s/b fairly easy using a recursive looping routine, starting with the root directory and drilling down getting the name of each folder's immediate subfolder(s). I thought about trying to use ChDir to somehow get to the subfolder and then using CurDir to get the full path, but I can't use ChDir without a specific subfolder path, which of course is what I'm seeking. Application.FileSearch.SearchScopes possibly could help, but I can't determine whether it would or not. I know the Subfolders property of File System Objects in Windows Script is just what I need, but I must avoid using FSO due to security concerns. I would appreciate any help with VBA or Office (Excel) code that would generate an unknown subfolder path string. TIA. Roy |
