Yes, but you will need to do it as an external proc. What you need is access to the file catalog manipulation routines for the native O/S. If you are running on NT you need to construct a external proc and register the kernel32.dll as a library. All of this sounds fairly complex but is really fairly straight forward. The initial setup is a pain as you will probably stumble thru problems with the external proc listener, etc. But once it's done and you've figured out how it all works you'll find yourself using the technique lots.
