Populate a table with a directory's file info.

By bar8393, 2013/05/21

I use this SP to return full directory information into a table. FilePath, FileName, Filedate and FileSize are parsed from a 'dir /n/on/-c ' command.
FilesInDir is the table created.
usage:
exec LoadFileDetailsIntoTable 'c:\winnt'
select * from FilesInDir where filesize > 100000
select min(fileDate) from FilesInDir
The Return Code will equal the number of files found.
