ListTableFiles()
Summary
Lists all the files associated with a table or view.
Syntax
filenames_array = ListTableFiles(string view_name, string class, string primary, string secondary)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| table_name | Name of input view, or null. If this value is not null, the other three arguments are ignored |
| class | Class of input table: "FFA", "FFB", "CSV" or "dBASE" |
| primary | Primary filename for input table |
| secondary | Secondary filename for input table |
Returns
An array of the names of files associated with the view or table.
Notes
-
The file types include FFA for fixed-format text (ASCII), FFB for fixed-format binary, and CSV for comma-separated text (values).
-
ListTableFiles() returns a list of all the data, dictionary, and index files associated with the input table.
-
If an input view_name is provided, the other arguments are ignored and ListTableFiles() provides information on the specified view.
-
If all arguments are null, ListTableFiles() provides information on the current view.
-
If the first argument is null, but the others are valid, ListTableFiles() provides information on the table indicated by the class, primary and secondary arguments.
-
Use GetDBFiles() to obtain a list of files associated with a layer.
-
ListTableFiles() returns information only about views that correspond to a single table; not about joined views.
Error Codes
| Error Type | Meaning |

| Error | The input view is not a table (e.g., it is a joined view); the input table is an ODBC table or a geographic layer; or the input view_name is null and the input class is not a recognized class |
| NotFound | The input view does not exist; or all inputs are null and there is no current view |
