Test to See If There Are Any Folders In A Folder

[Andy Sterner]

I'm pursuing a will 'o the wisp. If I can determine that there are folders in a folder, then I want to run a loop for each folder; but if there are no folders, I don't want to run the loop. So I'm working on an If statement.

1 Keystrokes: [ALT DOWN][TAB][ALT UP] in "Currently Active Window"
2 Keystrokes: [ALT DOWN]d[ALT UP][CTRL DOWN]c[CTRL UP] in "Currently Active Window"
3 Assign value of Clipboard to variable "$folderpathandname$
4 If Folder Exists("$folderpathandname$\*") Then (Wait up to 2 seconds - for Folder to exist)
5 Comment: Please enter the conditional commands here.
6 Message Box: "There is a folder in this folder."
7 End If

The first three lines capture the folder and path name of the current directory in a Windows Explorer window, and assign them to a variable, which I then use in an If statement using * as a wild card. The wild card doesn't seem to work. Is there something wrong with my syntax, or is there some other way to do what I want?

(The loop, by the way, would go where the message box command is now.)

Wildcards will not work in the if condition. You don't need to check explicitly for the existance of folders in a folder prior to the loop Each folder in a folder as the loop will be executed only if there is a folder in a given folder.
