How do i select a random file from a directory?

put all the filenames in an array and choose the index with a random number.

Can i have a snippet please - I only know php!

I need to...

1. Open the folder
2. Put all filenames into an array
3. Select a random file
4. Put it into a variable, say DPName.

code:

---

function RandomFile(Folder){//The Function
    FileArray = new Array();//The Array
    for(var e = new Enumerator(fso.GetFolder(Folder).Files); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())//The Enumerator
        FileArray.push(e.item());//Push the files into the array
    File = FileArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*FileArray.length)];//Getting a Random File
    return File;//Return the random File
}

---

You forgot to declare the fso variable:

code:

---

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

---

Also note that the returned object is a File object. Check MSDN for the available methods and properties of this kind of object.

Sweet, thanks.
