VB FileSystemObject: Complete File & Folder Guide

In VB, you can use the FileSystemObject object to access files and folders in the file system. Here is a simple example demonstrating how to use the FileSystemObject object to get a list of files in a folder.

Firstly, you need to create a FileSystemObject object in the code.

Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Next, you can use the methods and properties of the FileSystemObject object to retrieve a list of files in a folder. For example, you can use the GetFolder method to get the folder object, and then use the Files property to retrieve the list of files in the folder.

Dim folderPath As String
Dim folder As Object
Dim file As Object

folderPath = "C:\FolderName"
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(folderPath)

For Each file In folder.Files
    Debug.Print file.Name
Next file

The code above will output all file names in the specified folder. In addition to the Files property, the FileSystemObject object also provides other methods and properties, such as the CreateFolder method for creating folders and the DeleteFile method for deleting files.

In general, the FileSystemObject object is a very convenient tool that can help VB programmers easily access and manipulate files and folders in the file system.
