skipped items in directory

[Richard Kreiss]

I have to read in and compare a list of filenames which were created by filepro.  The filename is in the form  record number_datetime.xml.

I need to see if any record was created twice.

I wrote the following program to read each file, get the record number and post to a new filepro file.  My problem is that it appears that the program is only reading half of the files.  It is skipping every other file.

Based on the programming below, can anyone tell me why it is skipping records?
