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?
Bobby

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!

Subject: [dba-Tech] Empty folders
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...
