Hi

Is there an easy way to get the number of records returned by HFilter?
Thanks

Hello Mark

Hfilter() is just the setup and then you have to issue HReadFirst() to find the first match.
After that I don't think there is any way other than cycling through the data and counting each time you issue HReadNext()


I would try a View. I don't think many people use them but they are very fast and extracting the count is simply HnbRec(Viewname) , plus you can then use the data in the view as if it is file. A query would do the same but a view is simpler as it is just a single line of code.

Hi Al
I think you are right. I use views a lot, and always find them easier to work with.
Pity though would be useful if hnbrec work with Hfilter.
