$rc = dir( "c:\*" )

while ($rc <> "") and (@ERROR = 0)
? $rc
$rc = dir()
loop

Under kix 3.62, the entire list is displayed, under 2001 only the first entry.

Strangely enough, if you remove the $rc = frmo the dir() line, it works under 2001.

The documentation lists this example for both versions ...

So I'm supprised it works in the prev. version.

Dir( )

Action: Dir can be used to enumerate the files in a directory. Dir returns a string representing the name of a file, directory, or folder that matches a specified pattern. To retrieve subsequent entries in a directory, specify an empty string (“”) as the path.

Syntax: DIR ("path", index)

Parameters: Path
Optional string that specifies a file name — may include directory or folder, and drive. If path is empty (“”), Dir will return the next file of the previously opened enumeration handle. Wildcards (‘*’ and ‘?’) are supported.

Index

Optional number indicating which enumeration handle to use. The Dir function can enumerate two directories at the same time. To open the second enumeration handle, specify 1 for the index.

Returns: Returns a string representing the name of a file, directory, or folder that matches a specified pattern. An empty string ("") is returned if path is not found or to indicate that the end of the current enumration was reached. Dir also sets the value of @ERROR : 0 Dir successful.
Error code Function failed.


Example:

$FileName = Dir("C:\TEMP")
While $FileName <> “” and @ERROR = 0
? $FileName
Dir() ; retrieve next file
Loop

Works fine in Kixtart 4.00 RC1 release. There was a link broken.
Greetings.
