Does anyone use RecursiveFileSearch by weaponx?

If so, how do I use it to search recursively for all folders starting with a certain string (ex; Jeff)?

I tried many variations including:

$files = RecursiveFileSearch('F:\','','Jeff',2)
$files = RecursiveFileSearch('F:\','','Jeff*',2)
$files = RecursiveFileSearch('F:\','Jeff','',2)
$files = RecursiveFileSearch('F:\','Jeff*','',2)

to no avail.

I'm fine switching to use this if you say it is better documented and maintained but, after perusing the documentation, I am unable to clearly see how it can help me achieve my goal.

How do I use it to search recursively for all folders starting with a certain string (ex; Jeff)?

_RecFileListToArray("F:", "Jeff*.*", 2, 1), this will search the F: drive for any folder named Jeffxx or Jeffxx.xxx, only returning folder names, and recursing down.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

This will search within the folder "Base" for any folders beginning with "Dir" only.

$array = RecursiveFileSearch("Base", "", "^(Dir)", 2)
For $X = 0 to $array[0]
ConsoleWrite('['&$X&']: ' & $array[$X] & @CRLF)
;ConsoleWrite(StringTrimLeft($array[$X], 9) & @CRLF)
Next

AutoIt Version: 3.2.10.0
Author: WeaponX
Updated: 2/21/08
Script Function: Recursive file search

2/21/08 - Added pattern for folder matching, flag for return type
1/24/08 - Recursion is now optional

Parameters:

RFSstartdir: Path to starting folder

RFSFilepattern: RegEx pattern to match
".(mp3)" - Find all mp3 files - case sensitive (by default)
"(?i).(mp3)" - Find all mp3 files - case insensitive
"(?-i).(mp3|txt)" - Find all mp3 and txt files - case sensitive

RFSFolderpattern:
"(Music|Movies)" - Only match folders named Music or Movies - case sensitive (by default)
"(?i)(Music|Movies)" - Only match folders named Music or Movies - case insensitive
"(?!(Music|Movies)b)bw+" - Match folders NOT named Music or Movies - case sensitive (by default)

RFSFlag: Specifies what is returned in the array
0 - Files and folders
1 - Files only
2 - Folders only

RFSrecurse: TRUE = Recursive, FALSE = Non-recursive

RFSdepth: Internal use only

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func RecursiveFileSearch($RFSstartDir, $RFSFilepattern = ".", $RFSFolderpattern = ".", $RFSFlag = 0, $RFSrecurse = true, $RFSdepth = 0)

;Ensure starting folder has a trailing slash
If StringRight($RFSstartDir, 1) <> "" Then $RFSstartDir &= ""

If $RFSdepth = 0 Then
;Get count of all files in subfolders for initial array definition
$RFSfilecount = DirGetSize($RFSstartDir, 1)

;File count + folder count (will be resized when the function returns)
Global $RFSarray[$RFSfilecount[1] + $RFSfilecount[2] + 1]
EndIf

$RFSsearch = FileFindFirstFile($RFSstartDir & "*.*")
If @error Then Return

;Search through all files and folders in directory
While 1
$RFSnext = FileFindNextFile($RFSsearch)
If @error Then ExitLoop

;ConsoleWrite($RFSnext & @CRLF)

;If folder and recurse flag is set and regex matches
If StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($RFSstartDir & $RFSnext), "D") Then

If $RFSrecurse Then
RecursiveFileSearch($RFSstartDir & $RFSnext, $RFSFilepattern, $RFSFolderpattern, $RFSFlag, $RFSrecurse, $RFSdepth + 1)
If $RFSFlag <> 1 AND StringRegExp($RFSnext, $RFSFolderpattern, 0)Then
;Append folder name to array
$RFSarray[$RFSarray[0] + 1] = $RFSstartDir & $RFSnext
$RFSarray[0] += 1
EndIf
EndIf
ElseIf StringRegExp($RFSnext, $RFSFilepattern, 0) AND $RFSFlag <> 2 Then
