Can anyone tell me how i could dir and save it in a text file with ONLY the file names in that directory on seperate lines.. Or tell me if its possible and what i'd need to use.. Thanks! Koie Smith

Hey guys i finally came up with my very own first script.. its bits and peices from other code but i got it working.. it makes all the files in a dir lowercase and then writes all their names to a txt file. Next i've got to somehow read that textfile for file names and include them as attachments for email and my program will be all finished! Thanks for all your help!

Hi Koie, << it makes all the files in a dir lowercase and then writes all their names to a txt file. Next i've got to somehow read that textfile for file names >> If you want to read a file that consists of separate lines, look at using open with the /lines refinement. Also, consider using a native REBOL format. You can read and write values other than text very easily in REBOL. Look at the save command and some of the library examples. --Gregg
