How I can get a full filename when I have some chars from its name

[mohammadezazi]

For example:

I know that a file name starts with 20130713152034 chars in its begining and i also know its folder path (for example has been located in: f:folder1folder2)

I need the full name of this file.

Compare the two file names char by char.  If they both begin the same then you can assume that you found what you were looking for.

I think you need to use FileFindFirst FileFindNext.

Use Melbas' >RecFileListToArray UDF if you're not sure where the file is.

Something like:

$aArray = _RecFileListToArray("f:\folder1\folder2\", "StartingOfTheFileName*", 1, 1, 1, 2)

The _PathSplit UDF (found in the helpfile) may help also.
