Scan folders

[new2game]

Is there a way to setup one event that scans multiple folders on a single box for event data? It doesn't appear possible.

I need to check subfolders on an ftp server for customer activity. I don't want to create hundreds of events. And, it would be ideal if I can do something like 'root\*\*.extention'.

You can't do this directly as a source event. You can run a command file (dir *.extension /s in windows) to get a list and then process them within the map.
Not sure if there is an ftp equivalent.

On the lines of the Tim, probably what you can do is create 2 fields in the map in the first field you can use the Exit command like :

Exit ( "ls " , "*.extension" , " " )
whose synmtax is :
EXIT (program_name, command_line_arg1, command_line_arg2)

which will give you the list of whatever extension file u would like to find and then use this field's contents in the second field to do ur processing.

Thanks, not much exposure to batch commands so this should help.
