Using llc to get directory file count

Use llc (http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1550) to help you determine the number of files in a directory and create an ini
file that can interrogate it.

dir /b *.txt | llc [TEXT] Text=~ >Parms.ini

will create Parms.ini :

[TEXT]
Text=4

assuming 4 txt files.

Now, in Macro Scheduler, the sequence that will generate this file, and read it is:

Run Program>command.com /c dir /b *.txt | llc [TEXT] Text=~ >Parm.ini

ReadIniFile>Parm.ini,TEXT,Text,Count

You can add additional fields to this ini file.  For example:

Run Program>command.com /c dir /b *.bat | llc [BATCH] Batch=~ >>Parm.ini

Outputs:
[BATCH]
Batch=3

and the above lines will be appended to the existing file.

If you want to move the resulting counts into another permanent ini file:

ReadIniFile>Parm.ini,TEXT,Text,TextCount
EditIniFile>Final.ini,TEXT,Text,%TextCount%
