Folder Listing
Folder Listing input tasks list the files present in a selected folder and gives you the option to use filename
masks, to sort files by name or date, and to list the files present in the selected folder’s subfolders. The lists it
generates are in XML format.
Input
Folder Listing captures nothing, however it does read the input folders (and, if selected, subfolders) and
gathers information about each file in that folder.
Processing
Folder Listing loops through the files and, for each file, generates an XMLnode with information about the
file.
Output
The output is an XMLfile containing information about each file. If the Sub-directories option was checked,
the structure of the XMLalso contains the folder structure as it is present on the drive.
Here is a sample of the XMLthat is generated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<files count="3" filemask="*.*">
<folder>C:\Samples\<file>
<filename>invoice.pdf</filename>
