Zinthose Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I have no issues using FileFirstFile and it's evil step cousin FileFindNextFile.But..Has anyone figured out a way to get the path from the search handle or through some other tricks?Assume I don't know what the user is giving me for the path but lets say for an example, "C:\Windows\Temp\*"Now I don't know what the path is.. just the full search string provided. Without what I feel is unnecessary path string manipulations, how can I get the path from the File Search if the search only returns ONLY the name and not the path? Yes, I know I could use _PathSplit but it seam overkill. --- TTFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 How are you getting the input from the users? 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.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Zinthose Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 How are you getting the input from the users?It's a command line option for automation. Comma delimited list for processing each one.I'm still trying to work around the problem.. just was hoping to find a more elegant solution than what I fear I'll have to implement. --- TTFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinthose Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 try this:_WinAPI_GetFullPathName ( $sFilePath ) Tested.. It only returns the same data fed into by the user "C:\Windows\Temp\*" = "C:\Windows\Temp\*" --- TTFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinthose Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Ideally I would like to feed the search handle into a function so I would return the current path it is searching.Something like...$hndFileFind = FileFindFirstFile("C:\Windows\Temp\*") $searchPath = _FileFindGetWorkingDirectory($hndFileFind) ;--> $searchPath = "C:\Windows\Temp" Edited November 18, 2015 by Zinthose --- TTFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2015 Zinthose,I am still trying to understand how you end up with the search handle alone without the associated path that created it. You speak of a "comma delimited list" on the command line - a list of what? The paths?Help us to help you by explaining in considerably more detail what exactly you are doing and how you need to deal with this command line - otherwise we are not really able to offer much assistance.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
