What you posted is bad its incompler and mess up the firts function it use is missing. Pgitsop scprts put out an error
folders = FindAllFolders(topLevel, folders); // call function FindAllFolders
The FindAllFolders fubction is not in your post and the ends of the script look all messed up

Here is a script I put the together it has a few function I wrote to build File List to process. The functions should be easy to use to build you list of files, The is a parameter that you can set to true to process sub folders. The function will recursively use itself. There are also file type filtering parameters that cans be used. I have a demo script that can build file lists many ways using these functions, It only takes one line of code to build the file list you want to create. So in the demo I have code several of these one line file list creators. They are all comment ant the are all commented out but one the one to want to text. The demo process the file list you build. All the process does is toe created a log of the files paths.. It could just as easily opened the files and process them. Just look at the Main...
Here is the script with the functions...
