[dba-Tech] Empty folders

Ye kinda, except with recursion if you do it too deep you get an "out of
stack space".  With a loop it just never returns and you have to hit the
break key.

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...
