iahngy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is there a way to look up for a folder name but I just know half part of it by using autoit coding? for example, my full folder names are HG1234_1972, HG1234_1973, HG1234_1975 ..... it just has the same name before underscore but different number after underscore and I only know the name HG1234 ... is there a way to code so it can list all folders with that name HG1234?

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2014 iahngy,Yes, look at _FileListToArray (or _FileListToArrayRec if the folders are not within the same folder) - both accept wildcards in the path parameter and both will list folders as well as files.

Quual Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I was so bored....I decided to write a function for you... Local $sFolders = GetMatchingFolders('C:\FullPathTo\Folder\YouWant\ToSearch', 'HG1234_') If $sFolders Then Local $aFolders = StringRegExp($sFolders, '([^\|]+)', 3) For $f In $aFolders MsgBox(0, '', $f) Next EndIf Func GetMatchingFolders($sSearchRoot, $sStartsWith) Local $hFound = FileFindFirstFile($sSearchRoot & '\*'), $sNext, $sMatches If $hfound <> -1 Then While 1 $sNext = FileFindNextFile($hFound) If @error Then ExitLoop ElseIf @extended Then If StringInStr($sNext, $sStartsWith) = 1 Then $sMatches &= $sSearchRoot & '\' & $sNext & '|' EndIf WEnd EndIf FileClose($hFound) Return $sMatches EndFunc an even more bored person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
