[dba-Tech] Empty folders

Sort of, but not really.  Drew's example does have a looping structure, but
it is calling itself.

Here's and example through a directory tree:

c:\
   file1
   file2
   dir1
     dir1file1
     dir1file2
     dir3
        dir3file1
   dir2
     dir2file1
   file3
     

first call into c:\ returns
level
  1   file1 - print it
  1   file2 - print it
  1   dir1 - call function with dir1
  2   dir1file1 - print it
  2   dir1file2 - print it
  2   dir3 - call function with dir3
  3   dir3file1 - print it
  3   return from level 3
  2   return from level 2
  1   dir2 - call function with dir3
  2   dir2file1 - print it
  2   return from level 2
  1   file 3 - print it
  1   exit top level of function

Is that clear as mud now?

LOL.  Recursion is when you have a function call itself.

Function SomeFunction()
	DoThis()
	DoThat()
	For Each Something In SomethingElse
		SomeFunction
	Next
End function

Not it will repeat itself until all elements have been used.

It's a little bit out of my league - I just hack vba in Excel...

I hate it when you make me look words up...

Hmmn, didn't help... "Recursive: An expression, such as a polynomial, each
term of which is determined by application of a formula to preceding terms."
Polynomial? eep, maths!

Hi all, does anyone know of a way to find empty folders in win2k?

I'm re-ripping a lot of my cd collection, and some of the tracks/albums are
being named more correctly as the online catalogs are more up to date than
before, which is leaving me with a lot of empty folders. I have deleted the
ones in the main tree, but as for going through all the artists folders and
deleting the empty album names, that's going to be a pain... I was thinking
that there has to be an easier way to do it than just looking...
