Dear Reno, Thank you very much. Its working. I shall be grateful, if you could kindly extend the same further. Let me first explain my exact requirement. I have 10 folders and under each folder there are PDF files, as detailed below. Folder Name: 9781860947186 Files under the above folder. 1. 9781860947186_0001.pdf 2. 9781860947186_0002.pdf 3. 9781860947186_0003.pdf 4. 9781860947186_bmatter 5. 9781860947186_fmatter 6. 9781860947186_others0001.pdf 7. 9781860947186_others0002.pdf Folder Name General fmatter bmatter others PDFs 9781860947186 3 1 1 1 Folder Name: 9781860947187 Files under the above folder. 1. 9781860947187_0001.pdf 2. 9781860947187_0002.pdf 3. 9781860947187_0003.pdf 4. 9781860947187_fmatter Folder Name General fmatter bmatter others PDFs 9781860947186 3 1 0 0 Likewise for all other folders.

Dear Reno, Or you may take in this way. Assume that there are 4 folders and under each folder there are different files like PDF Files, DOC Files, XLS Files, JPEG Files etc., randomly. I want to redirect the output to an Excel Spread Sheet as detailed below. Folder PDF DOC XLS JPG ABC 2 3 1 4 DEF 4 1 0 5 GHI 3 0 2 3 JKL 0 2 4 0 When there are no files, it must display 0. Thanking you in advance and looking forward the pleasure of receiving a suitable solution for my problem. With kind regards, Sincerely yours, Ravi

yes, i understand what you are trying to achieve. and it would also be nice if you could at least TRY to solve the problem, rather than expect me to write the whole code for you. and when you are stuck, you can post your partial code and tell us which part it doesn't work. FYI, you can't redirect the output to Excel Spreadsheet, unless you know the binary structure of excel files.
