Hello everyone,
i got probably the oldest problem in the world: i want to import multiple ascii files. Additionally i want to go through different folders and let the script search for all files with a certain extension.
What i found so far is the function FindFiles which seems to do what i want, namely returning to me all filenames with a certain extension (.txt in my case). The filenames themselves are returned in a StringArray (correct me if i'm wrong here). My problem starts at the point where i'm trying to find out how many files are found by FindFiles.
In C++ i would return everything to vector and just get the size of the vector which seems not to be possible in Origin, or?
I don't want to / can't use MultiOpenBox or whatever was the name of that thing since that would contradict my idea of saving time with the script because i would have to click myself through every folder.

So is there any way to get the size of a StringArray or are there more clever ways to solve my problem?

Thank you for your help.
Regards Moritz

Hi Moritz,

If you look under Composite Data Types->string in the OC reference, you will see "An array of strings has been implemented using the following type definition: typedef vector<string> StringArray;"

So string array is type vector and derives methods and properties from vector and vectorbase, and vectorbase has .GetSize()

Hello Moritz,

I have created a StringArray example that you may find useful.

Oh indeed it does have a GetSize().
So shame on me and thank you both for your help
