if filename contains help

AlexS — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 23:18:04 GMT

Hello

I can't seem to open jmp data tables in a folder in which filename contain "Values"

the log isn't telling me anything helpful either ...

i am sure its something obvious but i can't see the error!

Names Default to Here( 1 );



Set Default Directory( "C:\Users\" );

files = Files In Directory( "C:\Users\" );

For( i = 1, i <= N Items( files ), i++,

          If( contains( "Values",files[i]),

                    Open( files[i] );

                    

          )

);

Try reversing the order of the arguments in Contain().

Contains( files[I], "Values")
