GetFileList ALWAYS returns atleast one file as result

[Cepper]

Hi

Maybe I have misunderstod something but shouldn't GetFileList return an empty string is no files found??

LET>result=
LET>acms_source=C:\Temp\

IFDIREXISTS>%acms_source%,CheckForFiles,DirNotExists

LABEL>CheckForFiles
LET>DirSpec=%acms_source%ThisFileDoNotExists.*
GETFILELIST>%DirSpec%,filename

IF>filename=,NoFilesInDir,SeparateFiles
LABEL>SeparateFiles
SEPARAT>filename,;,Filenames

LABEL>FilesInDir
LET>Result=Dir %acms_source% holds %filenames_count% files
GOTO>End

LABEL>NoFilesInDir
LET>Result=Dir %acms_source% does not hold any files
GOTO>End

LABEL>DirNotExists
LET>Result=Dir %acms_source% does not exists
GOTO>End

LABEL>End
MESSAGEMODAL>%Result%

The above test gives the following result: Dir C:\Temp\ holds 1 files


The variable filename is given the value:C:\Temp\ThisFileDoNotExists.

Can anybody help??
