How can I read from one directory all the file names?

I notice that your udiDirHandle is empty so something is not setup correctly there. I haven't played around much with the way you are doing it but here is a working example. This example will count the number of files and directories in a specific location defined by "sDirectory". In the below example I was not getting the directory '.' to show up but it would count '..' as the first directory. If you have more time and care you can probably look into it. There are a lot of optimizations you can do do speed the search up but this will get you running.

How can I read from one directory all the file names?

Thanks for your reply ..!
Your example is not work for me.. May be my syntax is not correct.. the program stack here <<sdirectorylist.xdone>></sdirectorylist.xdone>

In the past I have added something like the following to a loop, usually in a case statement. This is back in SP 4 Patch 2 so there might be an easier way to do it now.

VAR
     sDirectoryList : FILE.DirList;
     sFileEntry : FILE.FILE_DIR_ENTRY; //Properties of entry in directory
     sDirHandle : CAA.HANDLE; //Open directory handle
     RunState : USINT;
END_VAR
CASE RunState OF
1:  (* Find and store all files that can be loaded *)
     sDirectoryList(xExecute:=TRUE,hDir:=sDirHandle,deDirEntry=>sFileEntry);
     IF sDirectoryList.xDone THEN
          IF NOT sFileEntry.xDirectory THEN
               //What to do if the entry is not a directory
          ELSE
               //What to do if the entry is a directory
          END_IF
          sDirectoryList(xExecute:=FALSE); //Set directory list to false so that on next cycle it will look for the next entry in the directory.
      ELSIF sDirectoryList.eError = FILE.ERROR.NO_MORE_ENTRIES OR (sDirectoryList.xError AND sDirectoryList.eError <> FILE.ERROR.NO_MORE_ENTRIES) THEN
          //Change state or end loop
          RunState := 100;
      END_IF
ELSE
     //End of check
END_CASE

In my program I can create directory, create delete and rename csv files.
I don't know how can I read all the csv file names and insert it in a list?

Here is my program
