Get Folder Name Strating with data_* from Temp Folder

[TTE26]

How can I get a full name for a folder that starts with "data_" and ends with random numbers and characters?

I want to get a folders name inside Temp Directory.

Not sure how to even start. 🤭

Any suggestions? 🤔

Maybe:

1. Open Helpfile
2. Search

You can put the folders into an array using _FileListToArrayRec and then loop through the array, basic example:

#include <File.au3>

Local $aTempDir = _FileListToArrayRec(@TempDir, "data_*", 2, 0, 0, 2)
If @error Then Exit MsgBox(4096, "Error", "No folders found")
For $i = 1 To $aTempDir[0]
    MsgBox(4096, "Folder", "Folder " & $i & " - " & $aTempDir[$i])
Next

Thank you for your help. 👌

Looks like I was wrongly executing _FileListToArrayRec() function myself.
