Hi , New Here And Just Need A Little Start

[Jos]

No it had all the folders and files in the C: drive . I would like just gmd files to show .or search for .

But I must thank you guys as this is helping me learn ..

Maybe you can post what script you have now.... then its easier to look where it might go wrong......

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392,477,10,10,0x04CF0000)

this is your actual dir command:

dir *.gmd  /b c:\

think that should be:

dir  /b c:\*.gmd

[emmanuel]

since the folder you're doing the autoit from is probably not the folder cmd is located in, you should specify which folder you want the dir done on, you could use the @scriptdir to do that, if you're trying to do it in the same folder the script runs from:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c dir" & @scriptdir & "\*.gmd /b c:\ >c:\tempfile11.txt","",@SW_HIDE)

Is there a way to put the drive letter in a input box and then it would search that drive ?

[emmanuel]

yeah, just use an InputBox or FileSelectFolder and put that var in the place of the @scriptdir in that example above... to see how to do that, check out the help file.

I'm sorry you lost me there . I have to see it to be able to do it .. If you see my first post here you will know why .

go read the help file for InputBox and FileSelectFolder, they both have examples you should be able translate into using for your puposes... also read the Using AutoIt, Language Reference and Keyword/Statement Referance sections, I printed them out to read, understanding what's in there greatly helps in creating new scripts on your own.
