Trying to get the names of Images in a Folder

[Victor29751988fsbx]

Hey, I am trying to get the names of images in a Folder. Tried using a script like this but got an error saying folder.getFiles is not a function. How can I do this ?

"""

var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog();

alert(myFolder)

    if(folder != null)

    {

        var files = folder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/i);

        alert(files.length)

    //     for(var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)

    //     {

    //         var file = files[i];

    //         if(file instanceof File && )

    //     }

    }

Hi @Victor29751988fsbx , You defined the myFolder variable, but then referenced an undefined variable folder. Try this:

var fldr = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder containing the images", ""); 
var na = []
if(fldr != null){ 
    var fa = fldr.getFiles(/\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/i); 
    for (var i = 0; i < fa.length; i++){
        na.push(fa[i].name)
    };   
}

$.writeln(na)
//returns an array of file names
