File Count problem

hello,

i am using javascript to access files in a particular folder.I am doing this locally on my machine only. My script counts the number of files of a particular type and beginning with a particular character (eg 'r').

My script works fine. Now when I go in and try and change the contents of the folder, like add a file or rename a file, and then rerun my javascript it does not work correctly. i get some file names but not all.

i am posting part of my code here. Please look into this and let me know what I am doing wrong.

thanks,


************************

//this function is called by the main program

function countFiles(strPath,num,fp)
{
icount=0;

var objFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); //creation of filesystem object
var objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath);
var objFiles = objFolder.Files;
var filesCount = objFiles.Count; //filecount

var a1=new Array(filesCount);
var a2=new Array(filesCount);

i=0;
for(var objEnum = new Enumerator(objFiles); ! objEnum.atEnd(); objEnum.moveNext())
{
strFileName = objEnum.item().name;
strFileName1 = objEnum.item().type;
// WScript.Echo(strFileName);
a1[i]=strFileName;
a2[i]=strFileName1;
i++;
}

objEnum=null;
var a3=new Array();


//selection of files based on extension and starting char of name
for(i=0;i<filesCount;i++)
{
var p=a1[i].charAt(0);
if(p==cmpch & a2[i]=="PNG Image" )
{
icount++;
a3[i]=a1[i];
var a3_l=a3[i].length;
a3[i]=a3[i].substring(0,a3_l-4);
}

}

//after this I write out contents to output file.

}

just wanted to mention that in my code, i use two arrays to hold the file name and type of each file. (a1 & a2).

I use

strFileName = objEnum.item().name;
a1[i]=strFileName;

I define the arrays using
a1=new Array();

do i maybe need to define the array as a string array which can hold strings?

thanks and sorry for any confusion.

eagerly hoping for some input.
