Script Action: List files and/or directories
Function
This script action creates a table with files and / or directories.
The result is stored in an output variable.
Deployment
This script action will typically be used in a delegation project with
multiple forms to obtain file and directory info and display the result
in a form table. Project A will contain this script action. In Project
B, you need to define Project A as an initial project. Before the form
of project B is generated, the script of project A is executed and the
result is stored in a user defined variable. This variable can then be
used in the form fields in project B (e.g. in a generic table Variable).
