Generic Searcher Example to Rummage through Directories to Find a File
Keywords: searcher
Question:
I've looked at your searcher extender example, but can't get it to find any files except if they're in the root of my C:\ drive. Can you help me out?Answer:
You need to specify the flag of "16" in the srchinit function, if you want to search recursively through directories, as in the following example:
;==================snip=====================
BoxOpen("File Finder","Initializing")
AddExtender("wsrch34I.dll")
hand=srchInit("C:\","WINBATCH.EXE","","",16)
c=0
fh=FileOpen("c:\temp\whereitis.txt","WRITE")
while 1
a=srchNext(hand)
if a=="" then break
c=c+1
dd=FileYmdHms(a)
ss=FileSize(a)
ee=strfix(c," ",8)
dd=strfix(dd," ",22)
ss=strfix(ss," ",12)
line=strcat(ee,dd,ss,a)
FileWrite(fh,line)
;Display(1,c,a)
endwhile
Message("Find Complete",a)
srchFree(hand)
exit
