Search for multiple extensions

[TuMiM]

I have a script that currently looks for a file with an AVI extension and if not there sends a msgbox. I need it to look for t=files with an AVI or MOV extensions. How would i do that?

$AviSearch = FileFindFirstFile($path1 & "\*.avi")

If $AviSearch = -1 Then

GUICtrlSetData( $status, "AVI does not exist")

$return = MsgBox(1, "AVI File Does NOT Exist", "No AVI file is available in this directory.")

Something like this?

#include <File.au3>

Local $ValidList
Local $Path = @DesktopDir & "\"
Local $List = _FileListToArray($Path)

For $i = 1 To $List[0]
    If _IsValidFile($Path & $List[$i]) Then
        $ValidList &= $Path & $List[$i] & @CRLF
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "", $ValidList)

Func _IsValidFile($sFile)
    If StringRight($sFile, 3) = "avi" Or StringRight($sFile, 3) = "mov" Then Return True
EndFunc

#include <File.au3>

Local $ValidList
Local $Path = @DesktopDir & "\"
Local $List = _FileListToArray($Path)

For $i = 1 To $List[0]
    If _IsValidFile($Path & $List[$i]) Then
        $ValidList &= $Path & $List[$i] & @CRLF
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "", $ValidList)

Func _IsValidFile($sFile)
    If StringRight($sFile, 3) = "avi" Or StringRight($sFile, 3) = "mov" Then Return True
EndFunc

Seems like it would work but overly complicated? I was hoping for something a little more simple but I guess if it works i could go with it

#include <File.au3>

Local $ValidList
Local $Path = @DesktopDir & "\"
Local $List = _FileListToArray($Path)

For $i = 1 To $List[0]
    If StringRight($Path, 3) = "avi" Or StringRight($Path, 3) = "mov" Then
        $ValidList &= $Path & $List[$i] & @CRLF
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "", $ValidList)

A little simpler:

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $sPath = @DesktopDir & "\"
Local $aList = _FileListToArray($sPath, "*", 1) ; 1 = files only

For $i = $aList[0] To 1 Step -1
    If (StringRight($aList[$i], 4) <> ".avi") And (StringRight($aList[$i], 4) <> ".mov") Then _ArrayDelete($aList, $i)
Next
$aList[0] = UBound($aList) -1
_ArrayDisplay($aList, "AVI or MOV files")

Why not just search AVI first and then search MOV?
