d.dir(s 2)

[ssimop]

Is there any upper limit as fas a string length "s" concerns? For example when path is motre than 160 characters this function does not work. I would appreciate any advice.

Max dir() path length is same as max path length in Windows - 259 characters for files, 247 characters for folders.

What is your code that does not work?
Make sure that "Unicode" is checked in Options.

Dear Gintaras,

Many thanks indeed. It was my mistake. There was an illegal character among filename's characters.
Your example helped me to debug.

Best regards
