The only difference is whether you iterate over multiple files or request a single file. Opening a large directory is a not-insignificant operation, since it requires walking through the directory structure until the entry for the requested file(s) is/are found. It is still a drag on your system, just not as much as if you tried to list all of the files (not to mention DIR's prediliction to sort the returned files by default).John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
