system exec.vi

[PReitano]

Hi,

I am using System Exec.vi to ftp files from my local computer and the instrument.
I use the dir command to list the directories locate on the instrument, however I get a lot more information that I want.
How can I easily parse all this information and put the directory names in a drop down control.
I have enclosed a portion of my program and in the ftp command box I enter "dir".

So I do not have access to an FTP server from here so attached is a parsing utility done from memory.  Take that for what it probably is, requires some tweaking.....

That being said, if you use ls -f instead of dir, it should just return the directories...Of course if memory serves....

Good Luck
