Detecting Directory Contents
Is there a built-in function for detecting if a directory is empty? The closest I can find is FAll(), but I'd rather be able to use something like "if (FDirEmpty(dir))".

RE: Detecting Directory Contents
Bool FDelDir (Str name ); // delete empty directory, false on fail

It will be usefull for you?

FALSE on fail, so you can check if something is inside.

Hmm... I suppose that's one way to do it, lol smile ... I'll probably have to recreate the directory since it'll get deleted if it is indeed empty, but I guess that's no big deal.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks. I saw FileFind in the Header Browser tool but wasn't sure how to use it or if it would work on directories.
