Larry's Search UDF

[dash007]

Hi,

I saw this code in the forum from Larry but it is giving me errors on running it. Perhaps its because I am using the beta version which has quite a few changes as compared to the older version. The original code is:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include <INet.au3> 
;#Include <FileSearch.au3>

Dim $iMsgBoxAnswer

$LookFor = "*.bak"

Dim $Files
Dim $Dir="C:\"; specify the directory to search
Dim $Filemask=$LookFor; specify the filemask

; Options are :

I get the error "Cannot redeclare a parameter inside a user function". I bypassed this issue by moving

Local $StartDir

Local $FileToFind

Local $Options

outside the function and the script seems to run, but after the search the gui stays active doing nothing but flickering (not searching anymore). I was hoping to get the output to a ListView as in above Larry's code. Can some please assist. Thanks in adv!

I have noticed a possible bug with the new version of AutoIt3.exe. When using the new AutoIt3.exe from the latest beta, the ListView window in the above code does not come up. When using the older versions eg 3.1.1.18, I have no problems.

Anyone else see this? If others see it too, then this request needs to be put in the Bug section of the forum I guess. Also how can I close the "search" message box after its done searching, it seems to stand and flicker!
