Hi Erel,

With the attached code there is an error in version 6.50, but it works with version 6.30.

The first parameter passed to DirSearch should be the actual arraylist, not a string.
The code should be:

B4X:

Sub Button1_Click
    DirSearch(SketchDirs,AppPath)
    DirSearch(SymbolDirs,AppPath)
End Sub

Thank's Erel,

Is this special to DirSearch and FileSearch because with other keywords like Control, AddEvent an so on the names are in quotes so I used by habit the the same spelling ?
In version 6.30 it worked with the quotes.

Best regards.

Yes, most of the keywords expect to receive a string (and therefore can handle more complex expressions like "Button" & i).
Some keywords like DirSearch, FileSearch and Form.Polygon expect to receive the actual control without quotes.
In the new version the parser works a little bit harder as it needs to add the module prefix where required.
