Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all
I am making good progress loading a CSV file into mmbasic so I can pre-program data in a spreadsheet. I export from the sheet as CSV and it creates a generic "namexxx.csv" file name.

I can access the file from mmBasic no problem using Open "" for input as

Now I would like the program to search the card and identify the first .csv file it encounters so I may read it, without needing to name the file in advance.

When I use dir$ I get a flag error... I am not sure of the nomenclature, and can't find it in the manual.

ChatGPT is unable to help too. I can't find any use of dir$ on fruitoftheshed.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Jo

Something like this should work.You would need to enhance it to search the directories if that is not known.


dim first$,f$

   ' chdir("/")
   chdir("/tests")
   f$=DIR$("*.csv",FILE)
   first$=f$
   'Print #1, f$+":--all"
   'Print #1, f$
   ? " Added... "+f$
   Do While f$ <> ""
     f$=DIR$()
     if f$<>"" then
      'Print #1, f$
      ? " Added... "+f$
     endif
     If first$ = "" Then first$ = f$
   LOOP
  ' chdir("/")
