HELP: How do i retrieve a whole folder of files using asp please?

[John]

Hi all,
Can anyone help?
What I need to do within ASP is open a pre-selected folder within my
site, then with each file within that folder perform a set of actions.
A simple loop kind of structure would suffice for now.
The filenames won't be known in advance.

The idea is to use it as a basis for a photo gallery.

Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

Try something along the line of

fsoSysObj = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fdrFolder = fsoSysObj.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("images"))
For Each filFile In fdrFolder.Files
' your code goes here -- During each iteration, filFile points to a
different file.
Next
