Removable Drives

[Noviceatthis]

Hello all

Is it possible to open folders in a removable drive (i.e. an external Hard Drive), if so how??

Thanks

Open like that?

Run("explorer.exe c:\windows")

Hi!

Local $x, $label, $drive, $match

$match = "enterlabelhere"



For $x = 65 to 90

$drive = Chr($x) & ":\"

$label = DriveGetLabel($drive)

If @error then ConsoleWrite("No drive found at position: " & $drive & @CRLF)

If $label = $match then

ConsoleWrite("Found it at " & $drive & @CRLF)

ExitLoop

Endif

First thing that comes to my mind is, what if the drive letter changes?

I use this to get the drive volume label for a drive that might change

wisem2540,

You are missing a "next" statement for your "for" loop.

You can iterate the drives like this or you can use

drivegetdrive("removable")

to return an array of removeable drives.

Either way, you then open / list the files as you would anywhere else.

Thank you all

wisem2540, I understand the script apart from the for $x = 65 to 90 bit, would you be able to explain this bit, if you don't mind

Look at Chr in the help file. It's A to Z.
