File Utility - Find operation; How to retrieve all files in a folder?

Avatar

Level 10

I am using Find operation of FileUtility service to count the number of files present under a given folder.

I can not find the correct Regular Expression to match all files.

The Adobe documentation mentions that * character is default which matches all files/folder within the Directory. However, If I leave * unchanged, I'm getting an error "Incorrect Regular Expression syntax".

I have tried different combinations, nothing seems worked.

Can anyone assist me on this?

Thanks,

Nith

I din't guess that I have to escape DOT(.) character which is important to consider the file extension.

Your RE is correct, and It works perfectly!

Thanks,
