Re: datasource and count()

How do you search for your files that fulfill your criteria?

If you are using a pattern, like "*.txt", then you could just use the
function glob("*.txt") to return the filenames and dirnames that
comply with the pattern. The result is an array, which you can
count :)

There is no need to worry about the reference to COUNT in MySql, that
is only if you are using a database.

Enjoy,
John
