Dir, Dir$ (functions)
Syntax
Dir$[(filespec$ [,attributes])]
Description Returns a String containing the first or next file matching filespec$.
If filespec$ is specified, then the first file matching that filespec$ is returned. If
filespec$ is not specified, then the next file matching the initial filespec$ is
returned.
Comments Dir$ returns a String, whereas Dir returns a String variant.
The Dir$/Dir functions take the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
filespec$
containing a file specification.
If this parameter is specified, then Dir$ returns the first file matching this file
specification. If this parameter is omitted, then the next file matching the initial
file specification is returned.
String
If no path is specified in filespec$, then the current directory is used.
attributes
specifying attributes of files you want included in the list, as described
below. If omitted, then only the normal, read-only, and archive files are
returned.
Integer
An error is generated if Dir$ is called without first calling it with a valid
filespec$.
If there is no matching filespec$, then a zero-length string is returned.
