Recommended Posts

Hi
first up im pretty new to scripting and Programming in gerneral so please dont be mad if this is a stupid Question.:sweating:
Im trying to use _FileListToArrayRec to search for a specific Subfolder on an NAS Server Via GUIinputbox, but i cant seem to get an array output while i use the Path to the NAS Server.
Sadly because company data is involved i cant share much of the code but here is an example what i am trying to use

Error:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
   $Searchfor = "%21006051"
   $path = "T:\dir\dir\dir\dir\dir\dir"
   $aArray = _FileListToArrayRec($path, $Searchfor &"*" &"|", $FLTAR_FOLDERS, $FLTAR_RECUR, $FLTAR_SORT)
    _ArrayDisplay($aArray, "Sorted tree")
EndFunc

on the other hand if i copy the folder im trying to search to my desktop and change the path it works just fine.

 

Returns an Array with the wanted Subfolder:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
   $Searchfor = "%21006051"
   $path = "C:\Users\privat\Desktop\autoit"
   $aArray = _FileListToArrayRec($path, $Searchfor &"*" &"|", $FLTAR_FOLDERS, $FLTAR_RECUR, $FLTAR_SORT)
    _ArrayDisplay($aArray, "Sorted tree")
EndFunc

Please Help :sweating:

Hi @Reher, and welcome to the AutoIt forums :)
_FileListToArrayRec(), as almost every function, returns an @error code in case of error.
Try to add this little snippet after the call of _FileListToArrayRec(), so you can see if there is an error, and what kind of error it is:

; Call _FileListToArrayRec()
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("Error while calling _FileListToArrayRec()! Error: " & @error & @CRLF)
Else
    ; Do something
EndIf

Do you, by any chance, use #RequireAdmin in your real script? If so, you would probably need to use the UNC path instead of the relative path to the folder.

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.

i guess i dont quite understand the ConsoleWrite command :sweating: where does it write to?

Run the script from within SciTE without compiling it, and read the output of the ConsoleWrite in the output pane in SciTE.
