    Note that xp_dirtree is an undocumented stored procedure.

    I absolutely agree. It would be much better to use something that's not only well documented, but tried and true, as well... like xp_CmdShell to call a DOS Dir /b.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
