Hi, I am using Igor on windows and would like to know how can I read all files from a directory on my harddisk and is it possible at all. I don't seem to find anything about this in the help, there are only functions about reading directory content from igor's internal structures. Thanks |

The function indexeddir gives you a list of all the directories that sit below a path (to create a path use NewPath).
The function indexedfile gives you a list of all the files that sit on a path.
Then all you need to do is iterate through the list of files and do whatever you want to them.

For an example, execute this:
DisplayHelpTopic "Loading Waves Using Igor Procedures"
This leads to a section called Loading All of the Files in a Folder.
