Hi all
Thanks to Klaus for showing me where to put the line of code and Sarah for
suggesting
>filter gHierList with "raw*.pic"
I slightly modified this to filter gHierList with "*raw*.pic" and the
button puts all the files into a list.
so my final code looks like
global gHierList
on mouseUp
put empty into gHierList
put empty into field 1
answer folder "Pick a folder you want to walk:"
if it is empty then exit mouseUp
set lockCursor to true
set cursor to watch
directoryWalk it
filter gHierlist with "*raw*.pic"
sort gHierList
put gHierList into field 1
put number of lines of fld 1
set lockCursor to false
end mouseUp
on directoryWalk whatFolder
set the defaultFolder to whatFolder
put the files into temp
repeat for each line x in temp
put whatFolder & "/" & x & return after gHierList
end repeat
put the folders into tDirList
repeat with x = 2 to the number of lines of tDirList
directoryWalk (whatFolder & "/" & (line x of tDirList))
end repeat
end directoryWalk
This works great. You can see the screenshot at:-

All I need to do now is create a script to transfer the files in the list
to a chosen directory.
But that is later.
Thanks again:
PS If anyone wants any pocketPC database apps made then I can do this for
you free.
Cheers
Bob
