As we often ask around here, "in what way is this not working for you?". When I run this, it does write every filename on a separate line, as expected. It also seems to be listing contained folders... is that the problem? If so, use this instead:

files_all = FILE_SEARCH(/TEST_REGULAR)

Bonus: if you're going to do "free_lun", you don't have to do "close"!

Cheers,
