fileloop

Syntax	fileloop (identifier in expression1) statements or, fileloop (identifier in expression1, expression2) statements
Action	Evaluates expression1 as a file system path to a folder. If expression2 is present, evaluates it as a number, to be interpreted as the depth into the folder hierarchy to be visited. For each file in the folder indicated by expression1, fileloop does the following: 1. assigns the full path of the file to identifier; 2. executes statements. If a depth is not specified, statements are executed for every file and folder at the main level of the specified folder. If a depth is specified, statements are executed for files only, including those within subfolders to that depth.
Examples	fileloop (fName in file.getSystemFolderPath ()) {msg (file.fileFromPath (fName)); clock.waitSixtieths (30)} Posts the name of each item in the System Folder to the Main Window, pausing a half-second between each one. fileloop (fName in file.getSystemDisk (), infinity) {msg (file.fileFromPath (fName)); clock.waitSixtieths (30)} Posts the name of every file on the boot disk to the Main Window, pausing a half-second between each one.
Errors	If expression1 does not specify a valid path to an existing folder, the body statements will not be executed, and an error will be generated.
Notes	If expression1 is the empty string, the fileloop will iterate over all mounted disk volumes. If expression1 is the empty string and a depth of infinity is specified, the fileloop will iterate over every file on all mounted disk volumes. If the current item being processed is a folder, the path assigned to indentifier will end in the path separator (which you can get from file.getPathChar).
