Hello John,
I'm not sure what you are trying to do, are you using a Folder Capture to get txt documents dropped into a folder? Or are you using Folder Listing and want to do somethign else with it?
Please give more details on your process, so we can better see what you need.
Eric.

Hi John William,
May I ask why you need to do that? I feel there would be better ways to achieve your goals. What will the text be used for once in the array? Please describe what your form needs to do and we can help you find the best way to do it. Could you also specifiy if you have watch or not?
Thanks. Regards,
Olivier

hello all,
well what can I do to capture a text that is not on the database but in a folder and enter your coneudo Bernardelli in the desing, now I do it using the watch to the function input text file, but I would use the directory array and capture a text that is in a folder and turn it into a global variable.
for example, a file in c: / test / test.txt (content "test") would like to transform it into a variable "& test"
why am I having pleblemas to watch someone could help me?

Hi John, Referring to your 2nd post, if you use an array variable, you need to specifiy which field of the array you want to show. The brackets "[]" are used to do that. Remember arrays are 0 based, so if you have 5 text files in your directory, you will need to use the parameters 0 to 4 to show them. Examples: &myglobalvariable := &myarraydirectory[0]
show(&myarraydirectory[0])
show(&myarraydirectory[&i])
For(&i,1,1,5)
show(&myarraydirectory[&i-1])
crlf
endfor()
etc... Hope this helps. Regards, Olivier

John,
The Folder Listing plugin does not retreive the contents of any files - it's used to list the contents of the folder (a list of the names of the files within this folder). If you want to get the content of the files, you will need to add a Load External File plugin, which replaces your current job with the contents of the file.
Hope this helps,
Eric.

John,
The Load External File is a Watch plugin, and the configuration should be self-explanatory once you open it.
Eric.
