I need to write a script that will output folder contents into html. The only thing needed on the page(s) is the filenames themselves. This is going to be used for a music collection.

Example:

The script looks in the tree artist\album\track.mp3

and outputs a single html page containing the tracklisting for each album in a new folder with the artist name.

So I'd have folders (artist1 artist2 artist3) with subfolders (album1 album2 album3) containing html files that list the tracks in text.

I've done this before with perl but lost the script in a hdd crash and figured it would be quicker to post this request than try and figure it out again.

The script is only intended to output the html and not be run online.

Thanks!

<script >
function ShowFolderFileList(folderspec)
{
var fso, f, fc, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
fc = new Enumerator(f.files);
s = "";
for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
{
s += fc.item();
s += "<br>";
document.write (s);
}
//return(s);
alert(s);
}
</script>
<body onload="ShowFolderFileList('c:\\')">

<form action="" name="test">
<input class="textBox" type="text" name="counter" size=9 maxlength=9 value ="" readonly>
</form>
</body>
</html>
