Seems like Win32's not doing things it's said to be. Anyway, I've worked along the lines of this MSDN article, but somehow I can't get more than 2 valid file names, plus one "dummy" result; that dummy allows one to check if Interop.GetLastError() returns 18 (ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES) or something else is wrong. Indeed, Interop.GetLastError() does return ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES at the dummy, but I'm still getting only 2 useful results. Code:

JScript code:

---

/* FileSystem object and Print() functions defined elsewhere
furthermore: Paths.Root =  MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\";*/
 
FileSystem.EnumerateFiles = function(Directory) {
    var ret = new Array();
    var result = this.FindFirstFile(Directory);
    if(result.hFind === 0) {
        result.WIN32_FIND_DATA.Size = 0;
        return ret;
    }
    ret.push(result);
    do {
        result = this.FindNextFile(result.hFind);
        ret.push(result);
    } while(result.hFind !== 0);
    return ret;
}
 
FileSystem.FindClose = function(hFind) {
    return Interop.Call("Kernel32.dll","FindClose",hFind);
}
 
FileSystem.FindNextFile = function(hFind,pData) {
    ret = new Object();
    ret.WIN32_FIND_DATA = typeof pData === "object" ? pData : Allocate(592); // confirmed working
    ret.hFind = Interop.Call("Kernel32.dll","FindNextFileW",hFind,ret.WIN32_FIND_DATA.DataPtr);
    ret.LastError = Interop.GetLastError();
    return ret;
}
 
FileSystem.FindFirstFile = function(sFile) {
    if(typeof sFile === "number") sFile = this.GetPathFromHandle(sFile); // confirmed working
    var ret = new Object();
    ret.WIN32_FIND_DATA = Allocate(592); // confirmed working
    ret.hFind = Interop.Call("Kernel32.dll","FindFirstFileW",sFile,ret.WIN32_FIND_DATA.DataPtr);
    ret.LastError = Interop.GetLastError();
    return ret;
}
 
var FindResult = FileSystem.EnumerateFiles(Paths.Root + "*");
for(var i = 0; i < FindResult.length; i++) {
    Print(FindResult[i].hFind);
    Print(FindResult[i].LastError);
    Print(FindResult[i].WIN32_FIND_DATA.readDWORD(0));
    Print(FindResult[i].WIN32_FIND_DATA.readSTRING(44));
    FindResult[i].WIN32_FIND_DATA.Size = 0;
    FileSystem.FindClose(FindResult[i].hFind);
}

That does it; I guess that using the result object in the loop changes the references stored in the array..?

It sure does! I thought that FindNextFile() used the previously found handle, while it actually uses the handle retreived with FindFirstFile().

I suggest trying to make 2000 posts between now and December 2012

After reading the MSDN article I can see why you would think that but no it has to be the original handle for the folder.

Why is that? 10,000 posts in 10 years?

Glad you got it sorted out!

And I will see what I can do about 2000 1995 posts in a 13 months.
