How to grab files from folder to a list and process them.

[whoami 26]

My point is that I need to multithread, and well.. open different files that contain URLs. In this particular case it will run randomly with different accounts, different proxys and same process.

So how can I grab files extensions from a folder and list them to process it?

add list to list(%lst_DataFolderFiles, $get files(#var_SpecificFolder, "No"), "Delete", "Global")

^^^ That is how I do it.

(the "No" means I'm only grabbing the file names within the given folder - that is stored from ahead in the #var_SpecificFolder variable - but if you want to get the full path, use "Yes" instead)

 

Next step is to use the newly created list to randomly get file names from it and pass each file name to your custom command/function that runs on a separate thread.

At the same time, remove the used file name from the initially grabbed ones, to avoid them being selected again, until you exhaust the list.

So you want to grab a list of files and then just use the extensions? Not sure I follow you...

Great!

Does this works the same as if I upload constantly files to an FTP and I gather all the files list with this $get files in the URL?

Here is what the Help File says:

Get files (PRO Edition Only)

Files From Folder returns a list of all files in any given directory.

I would say it looks like ONLY working with local files, not server files (that you have FTP'd) Also, the example code from the Help File suggests the same

 

On the other hand... normally, the files on a directory on a server SHOULD be protected from being viewed by everybody, at least with an index file on that folder, if not .htaccess

I think it is dangerous to have open directories on web servers - just sayin'... it's best practice to hide them.

 

 

Hope this helps...
