Check number increments in filelist box

by dvdza . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

Hi there, I have files located on my hdd that are sequencially numbered, i want to check for breaks in the sequence.

What I have so far: My app populates a filelist box with the files in the folder, i have determined the first and last files in the folder.

What I need: Now all I need is to run a loop to check that the increments are sequencial. If there is a break in the sequence then that filename must be placed in a “Missing Files” list box.

Eg of file names: abc000354 up to abc001264

I was going to use left(strFilename,3) to remove words, but i would prefer checking the entire file name, this will help if the files ever change eg: bcd00452 to efd00235

Would appreciate help on this one.

Thanks
