I wouldn't do any operations on a directory while scanning it. Get a list of all the files you are interested in from the scan, then fiddle with the files afterwards. > Or will none of that change the order? Anything altering just the file's data such as CR/LF changes wont affect anything in the directory, but renaming files might, depending on the underlying filing system. Filecore plays nice, others may not. ---druck
