getting sub-folders and their sub-folders and so on

Does anyone know an easy way to get all of the folders and their sub-folders
and their sub-folders and so on? I need to get all of the folders and their
paths from an inputted parent folder textbox. I need to put this into a
string array variable like:
c:
c:\windows
c:\test
c:\windows\1
c:\windows\1\a
c:\test\6
The problem is I am going to be using this tool on different folder
structures and don't know how deep the folders are going to be and need this
to dynamically loop until it picks up all the sub-folders.

Thanks for your help........... Jason

Hey, I would appriciate if anyone can help on this one: I have a java object/inteface having a method with a boolean parameter. As I'm trying to call this method from a javascript it fails on a type mismatch. It is positively because of the boolean(java primitive)parameter. It goes fine if I change this parameter to int or String. This inteface has a lot more methods which works fine, it is just the

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
