Thank you for your reply. I am using Windows 2000 and IE6. The script is
to be run on my machine. As an example say I have a file called
display.html on my hard drive. When I load that file into the
browser(using file:// in the address bar) I want to see a list of files
which match a pattern (say beginning with abc) in the directory in which
display.html resides. This directory is local. So basically I want the
script to interact with the local filesystem and do some filename matching.
Oh, okay. Nope, not javascript. WSH (windows script host).
Try this. Worked fine for me - IE6/Win2KPro.
Set the folder to the one you want (i have wwwroot).
If that works for you, you can modify it to do pattern matching and
stuff. Look up WSH resources, as this is a javascript group. :)
