How to know if a folder is empty ?

[hufi]

Hi forum, 

I post my first message on this forum.....I just bought Macro Express Pro 6 yesterday.

 

Is there a way to check if the folder donwload is empty or not 

 

if not empty, to simulate the Ctrl +A  

 

and then Enter

 

thanks fro your answer

Something like this should work.  It will be a learning experience to look up all these commands and enter them with the correct options. 

 

Actually this is overkill -- you don't have to get ALL the file names to know that the folder is not empty.  As soon as one file name is returned from the Repeat with Folder command, you could "Repeat Exit" from the loop and do the typing. 
 

//  
Variable Set Integer %counter% to 0              // initialize counter
Repeat with Folder c:\folder_name                // return names of all files in folder
  Variable Modify Integer %counter%: Increment   // increment counter for each file name
End Repeat
//  
If Variable %counter% Is Greater Than "0"          // if folder is not empty
  Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <CTRLD>a<CTRLU> // type ctrl + a
  Delay: 500 milliseconds                          // delay 1/2 second
  Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <ENTER>         // type ENTER
End If
//
