| Is there a way to find out how many files are in a folder and save it to a variable? |

Not very clean or efficient, but short:
| Code: |
function System.numFiles(dir)
-- - 2 to not count . and .. (remove if you want to count them)
return table.getn(System.listDirectory(dir)) - 2
end
|
If you don't want to count subfolders as files you'll have to do a bit more work ;) |

table.getn(System.listDirectory())
If you're not in the root directory you'll get to extra files. |
