This is probably a strange request, but I’m trying to find a script that will display the contents of multiple folders from the user’s harddrive to the user only.
For example, a certain program may have files spread through different directories. I want a field that will display those files from all directories (i.e. all directories that are specified – no need for user input on that). If possible, alphabetization would be sweet. I saw this script that claimed to display files:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var path = ‘C:/…..’; // Starting directory
function thefiles() {
// Puts the file names of this directory into an array
var file_array = get_files(path).split(‘|’).sort();
}
</script>
<script type=”text/VBScript”>
Function get_files(path)
Dim List
Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set Folder = fso.GetFolder(path)
Set Files = Folder.Files
List = “”
If Files.Count > 0 Then
For Each File In Files
List = List & File.Name & “|”
Next
End If
get_files = List
End Function
</script>
—
However, this does not work for me. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong, or where I should be looking for this kind of thing?
Thanks!

ps, warren, why do you always use VBScript for the fso object, it works in JavaScript as well... I wrote this lately:
[CODE]function WriteToFile(temp,output) {
var filename = output;

var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
var d = fso.GetDrive(drvpath);

if(d.IsReady){
if(fso.FolderExists(getFolder(output))){
if(fso.FileExists(output)){
input_box=confirm("Are you sure you want to replace the selected file?");
if (input_box==true){
var file = fso.CreateTextFile(filename, true);
file.WriteLine(temp);
file.Close();
confirm('HTML Script Succesfully Encoded! - © Diricx Bart');
}
}
else{
var file = fso.CreateTextFile(filename, true);
file.WriteLine(temp);
file.Close();
confirm('HTML Script Succesfully Encoded! - © Diricx Bart');
}
}
else{
input_box=confirm("The folder doesn't exist, do you want to create it?");
if (input_box==true){
var path = getFolder(filename);

}while(index!=-1)
