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.
