note omegaweaponZ Yes, I think....I'm looking for a file count IN the sub-directories OF those directories, so yes. There are no files in test/test1 but there is 1 file in test/test1/A and one in test/test1/B, etc, etc. I'm trying to compare all A, B, C, D from the single test1 subfolder. Confusion at its best! <p> So it needs to descend into the enclosed directory of A, B, C, D just to grab those file counts, but it needs to compare and contrast each one as an array so it outputs a single true/false for test/test1 and test/test2, etc. Does that make sense? This is where I'm confused because I'm grabbing the full directory of each file but I just want comparison of its parent folder ONLY per folder. 991686 991966
