Count files only

I need to just count files in the current directory. Is there an argument to FilesCount so it doesn't count files in sub folders?
Thanks,
Kees

You are correct, {FileCount()} variable counts the amount of files in specified folder and all subfolders.
In order to count files in specified folder only use the File Loop:
Set variable num to 0
File Loop //without subfolders
Increment num
End Loop
Probably we need to add corresponding system functions. I wrote this into our ToDo list.

Bumping up an old topic, because I still face this "problem" today

Ofcourse the workaround works, but it will be great if that can be fixed into a system variable.

Hello,
I searched for a simple way to get the number of files without subfolders but I could not find it.
Is there a way to do this with system variable in the current version?
It would be very helpful if this were implemented.
