processing files in directory

[Dav136]

Hello,

What I need is a VBScript, that processes all the files in a given directory. It should be in sequence of their creation date&time.

how can i do that using the scripting.filesystem?

thanks

hmm.. i was looking for the equivalent of the (VBA) Dir("*.*") method, but didn't come up with something useful.

I've discovered that VBA doesn't read my files in the sequence of creation. I'm not sure, but it looks like the files are sorted by only the minute of the creation date, and since I do have many files created in short period, they are sorted by the filename as well.

I hoped VBS could bring more clarity.

I found a script that suits my needs. I had been looking in the wrong direction before, not thinking about the folders object.

Thanks
