Create Array of all filenames in target folder on desktop using ExtendScript?

[bpoole24]

I'm trying to write a script that will look at a target folder on my computer and grab the file paths for each of the files inside that folder and then store them in an array. This array will then be accessed later to add individual file paths into target comps. So far I have been unsuccessful at figuring out how to accomplish this, is it possible to tell ExtendScript to create an array based on a finder folder's contents?

Thanks!

Once you have the folder, this will give you an array of all the files (and folders) in the folder:

var myFiles = myFolder.getFiles();

Excellent, that did the trick!

Thank you Dan!

Is there a way to get the contents (files) of all folders in a parent directory?

I'm using the above solution this way:

     // define file names we're looking for

     var maskIdentifier = "*_V.png";

     // define folder for the config image files

    var configFolder = Folder("/c/Production/Automotive/images/configs/");

      // create list of files
     var fileList = configFolder.getFiles (maskIdentifier);

But that only gives me the parent directory. I have folders with multiple subdirectories wherein the files matching the maskIdentifier for getFiles may be.

     configs\Folder1\Subfolder1\

     configs\Folder1\Subfolder2\

     configs\Folder2\Subfolder1\

     configs\Folder2\Subfolder2\

     ...etc

Any help would be appreciated.

getFiles() actually get everything: files and folders, but immediate children only. To get deeper, you'd have to reapply getFiles, in a way or another, to the children folders.
