Hi, i have a php script that is supposed to check for duplicate values in a txt/delimited file. I run the script from console (i have the php.exe and php.dll file in the windows dir). What i would like to to if possible, is that instead of specifying what file i want to check in the script (tmp.txt), i would like the script to take any file of the format csv, sdv, skv or txt. So, if i paste 10 files in the same dir of the script, it should work on all files 1 after 1. If any errors, it should output the values to "Filename"-Error-Log.xls. Hope anyone can help. Copy of source code: <? $myFile = "Error-Log.xls"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $a = file("tmp.txt"); for ($b=0; $b<count($a); $b++) { $a[$b] = (int)$a[$b]; } sort($a); $old='novalue'; for ($b=0; $b<count($a); $b++) { if ($a[$b]===$old) { fwrite($fh, "Duplicate value ".$a[$b]."\n"); } $old=$a[$b]; } fclose($fh); ?>

Ok, i made a workaround running the php script withing a batch script.. But if its possible, i still would like to know:]

I usually prefer vbscript for windows based scripts since it is handled natively and has some good file structure controls. However, there is a PHP script on this page on how to return the contents of a directory as an array (which would be the first step): http://us3.php.net/dir The script is at the very bottom of the page Michael J

Thnx:) I'll have a looksie

The following page has an example script (that you can download) which recurses through the C drive and creates a report of all .bat files. You could easily modify it to look only in a certain directory (and subdirectories if you wish) for mutiple file extensions. Michael J
