List files within subfolders

[Cory_K]

In my VI, i've gotten as far as listing all of the files in a folder using the list folder.vi function.

Is there anyway it can list all files including files in subfolders?
I could use a list folder function on each subfolder but that would take forever.

But that's the only way to do it, really.

LV 8.x should have a recursive listing VI built in.

If you don't have 8.x, you can get one from OpenG.

OK, well then I'm going to make the computer do it for me..... let me see what I can do.
I'll be back if I run into a problem.

The VI that tst is refering to is vi.lib\utility\libraryn.llb\Recursive File List.vi.  It's been shipping with LabVIEW since version 7.0, but it was not added to the palettes until version 8.2.

That just saved me a ton of work. Thanks
