Loop all subfolders - mask folders with specific name

[AG_Ps_100]

Hello everyone,

I have this code which is working, it loops all subfolders and it only enters files with the file extension I wrote above (NEF & tif).

I want the mask to enter the code only if the subfolder is "TEST", is this possible or do I have to loop again on all subfolders and write 'if conditional' inside the loop? (which will take more time probably)

var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");

var tifFilesAr = scanSubFolders(theFolder,/\.(tif)$/i);				//var fileandfolderAr = scanSubFolders(topFolder,/\.(jpg|tif|psd|bmp|gif|png|)$/i); 
var tifList = tifFilesAr[0];

var fileandfolderAr = scanSubFolders(theFolder,/\.(nef|NEF|tif)$/i);				//var fileandfolderAr = scanSubFolders(topFolder,/\.(jpg|tif|psd|bmp|gif|png|)$/i); 

var fileList = fileandfolderAr[0];


for(var a = 0 ;a < fileList.length; a++)
{
	// code here
}




function scanSubFolders(tFolder, mask) { // folder object, RegExp or string
    var sFolders = new Array();
    var allFiles = new Array();
    sFolders[0] = tFolder;
    for (var j = 0; j < sFolders.length; j++){ // loop through folders            
        var procFiles = sFolders[j].getFiles();
        for (var i=0;i<procFiles.length;i++){ // loop through this folder contents
            if (procFiles[i] instanceof File ){
                if(mask==undefined) allFiles.push(procFiles[i]);// if no search mask collect all files
                if (procFiles[i].fullName.search(mask) != -1) allFiles.push(procFiles[i]); // otherwise only those that match mask
        }else if (procFiles[i] instanceof Folder){
            sFolders.push(procFiles[i]);// store the subfolder
            scanSubFolders(procFiles[i], mask);// search the subfolder
         }
      }
   }
   return [allFiles,sFolders];
};

Thanks in advance.

I think you would only need to amend the line 

        }else if (procFiles[i] instanceof Folder){

to iclude a name-check.

How would you do it please?

With the method »match«, I guess.

Your code already has an example of how to do this for the filename. Just add a similar check but with a different mask.

if (procFiles[i].fullName.search(mask) != -1)

(if you have a lot of files in a directory, it is betterto search substring with .indexOf for performance instead of searching with regular expressions)
