Load table with names of files

[trenttc]

I want to load a table with the names of files from a directory. The directory contains graphics and I don't want to load each file's contents. I will link to the graphics later (linked v embedded). Loading a file's contents is easy. How do you load a directory's contents?

What database are you using? This would require a
non-ansi extension so it is going to be database specific.

You would probably be better off posting this question in a forum specific to your database.

Hi,
Why don't you make the names of the files a file and then load the contents of that file since you know how to do that.

Unix

ls -1 > /tmp/file

windows

dir /b > c:\temp\file

A simple dir /b > c:\temp\file will do it. Thanks.
