parcomilati	Posted - 11/09/2022 : 12:21:44 PM Hi everybody, I have a problem with the way findfiles collects the names of the files in the given folder. In particular, three files named file_1, file_2, and file_10 will be collected in the following order: file_1 file_10 file_2 which I think is alphabetical order of collection. This is problematic since I'd like to have my file imported like: file_1 file_2 file_10 so a more numerical-like order. Are there any options in findfiles or procedures that I can use to sort those files in the way I prefer? Thank you so much. Marco

See the example code below: string files = "file_1%(CRLF)file_10%(CRLF)file_2"; int n = files.GetNumTokens(CRLF); Dataset ids; ids.SetSize(n); for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) { string file = files.GetToken(i, CRLF)$; string strFileIndex = file.GetToken(2, '_')$; int index = strFileIndex.value(); ids[i] = index; } ids = sort(ids); for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) { string file = "file_$(ids[i])"; type %(file$); } James
