Ability to use jokers in File.Count(*)
It would be nice to have ability to use jokers
in File.Count parameter. For instance if you have
x:\folderA\subfolder\a\file1.txt
x:\folderA\subfolder\b\file2.txt
x:\folderA\subfolder\c\file3.txt
x:\folderA\subfolder\c\file4.txt
File.Count(x:\folderA\subfolder\*\*)
or
File.Count(x:\folderA\*\*\*)
Would return: 4
Or add additional DCI: File.CountEx(*)
File.CountEx(<root_path>,<depth>)
File.CountEx(x:\folderA,2)
Would return: 4
thank you,

Hello!
It is possible already. File.Count has the following arguments:
File.Count(root_path, [pattern], [recursive])
You can define pattern as usual with * and ? characters, and if you wish to scan directories recursively, you should pass 1 as recursive arguments.
For your example
x:\folderA\subfolder\a\file1.txt
x:\folderA\subfolder\b\file2.txt
x:\folderA\subfolder\c\file3.txt
x:\folderA\subfolder\c\file4.txt
File.Count(x:\FolderA, *, 1) will return 4
File.Count(x:\FolderA, file2.*, 1) will return 1
File.Count(x:\FolderA, *) will return 0
Best regards,
Victor
Thank you :)
