Sort by date and type

rahulsics,

The function is indeed slow if you have an extensive folder structure - but you can speed it up by using a negative value for the $iRecur parameter which limits the search to a fixed level below the root. That might speed things up considerably.

Without sight of the directory structure it is hard to offer more than such general guidance, but you could do something like this:

  • Search the root folder for just the folders it contains (use the $FLTAR_FOLDERS parameter to do this)
  • Get the date/time of those folders as I described above and sort the array so as to get the latest folders at the top
  • Loop through those first few folders and search for your file within them (using as specific a mask as possible and the $FLTAR_FILES parameter) - you can combine the returned arrays using _ArrayConcatenate.
  • And now you have an array of the instances of your file in only those folders.

Give it a go and come back if you run into problems
