Someone quick to find a fix

[Deye]

derived from here 

I have updated the example to search file\folders in levels from root folders = 1

for the example search for a specific folder that you know exists in level 2 but wont exist in the following levels if the end level is 7 ..

I have added a button to abort the search otherwise the gui will hang without being able to gracefully exit 

Usage: select a drive from the drop-down combo and  type some folder name right after the selected drive

just interested to make it quit searching on demand if anyone can spot how it may be done or any other ideas

Thanks

Edit: works ok with a hotkeyset @setting $cancel to True but not from the button in the loop .

will have to do for now :

Updated Code to terminate a search with the "ESC"  key

Why not just use FileListToArrayRec with a depth parameter set?

[Deye]

BrewManNH,

Didn't notice that option before

Will try that soon ..

Thanks

Absolutely  @BrewManNH

I struggled a bit to make it work in the way you suggested but it finally clinged
