Search

[lekremyelsew]

Hey, kinda newbie here. I am trying to create a script that will search your computer for files. I havent taken the time to make ;comments yet. I'm trying to find out how to to use FileFindNextFile to search subfolders for files. If there is another command I need to use I'm listening.

Also If I can make the script simpler, tell me

Valauter has made a few of these... They are in scripts and scraps... take a peak, should help you out on your own project... or since it's made, you might just want to use his.

Here's one here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...59&hl=Valuater#

there are a few recursive scripts for file listing (like mine) etc... someone will probably tell you that the fastest and easiest way would be to use a 'dir /s filename.ext' from command line, and parse the output...

What does that mean? Translate .ahk to .au3?

I use AutoHotkey and AutoIt.

I know that the "Loop (files and folders)" commad will be able to get the names of the files, but how do transfer data from %AutoHotkey% variables to to $AutoIt vars

[SmOke_N]

You could use an .ini file and condition statements... Maybe if they have console write you could use StderrRead/StdOutRead/StdOutWrite... Personally, I know nothing of them, and or how their script works... the syntax I've seen seems like the ancient AutoIt v2 version (wonder why), but I still have never even downloaded their program.
