Not sure if this can be done as I don't know how

[bobheart 0]

How would i do a input box so i can pick what I want to search for ?

DirCreate("C:\list1")
Run(@comspec& " /c dir *.dll /s >c:\list1\dlllist.txt","c:\",@SW_HIDE)

This works good now but i will have to make a bunch and would be nice to just say search for jpg's or dll's etc.

Do you want a input many times asking for extension?

(Use a loop)

Or display two extensions in a list?

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c dir *.dll *.jpg /s > c:\list1\mylist.txt', 'c:\', @SW_HIDE)

well just one time asking what extension would be fine I think .

Then If I need it again just run it again .all rename the txt file before i run it again. lol

Unless you can input what to save the txt file as ?

Here it is:

DirCreate("C:\list1")
$Extension = InputBox("List Files","Please enter the extension of the files you want to list." & @CRLF & _
"(Without a dot)", "", "", 350, -1)
Run(@comspec& " /c dir *." & $Extension & " /s >c:\list1\dlllist.txt","c:\",@SW_HIDE)

Can you kind of tell me how you added the part where they can input what they want to search so Maybe can do it my self ?

Thank you btw ..

I commented the script. Here it is:

DirCreate("C:\list1"); <------- Create Directory
; The 2 lines below are for the inputbox. What the user enters is saved as $Extension
$Extension = InputBox("List Files","Please enter the extension of the files you want to list." & @CRLF & _
"(Without a dot)", "", "", 350, -1)
;This line below runs a command with the user input: $Extension
Run(@comspec& " /c dir *." & $Extension & " /s >c:\list1\dlllist.txt","c:\",@SW_HIDE)

Well what the hell ?

Trying the same code on my D: drive and it won't do anything ?

DirCreate("C:\list1")
$Extension = InputBox("List Files","Please enter the extension of the files you want to list." & @CRLF & _
"(Without a dot)", "txt", "", 350, -1)
Run(@comspec& " /D dir *." & $Extension & " /s >c:\list1\list.txt","D:\",@SW_HIDE)

what did I do wrong this time ?

[Jos 2,213]

Run(@comspec& " /C dir D:\*." & $Extension & " /s >c:\list1\list.txt","D:\",@SW_HIDE)

So you have to have the /C first then . ummm

would that not make it search c ? strange how some of this is .

[Jos 2,213]

/C is part of cmd or command and the command behind it is run...

in this case Dir d:\*.*

CMD [/A | /U][/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF]

    [ [/C | /K] string]

/C      Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates

/K      Carries out the command specified by string but remains

/S      Modifies the treatment of string after /C or /K (see below)

/Q      Turns echo off

/D      Disable execution of AutoRun commands from registry (see below)

/A      Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI

/U      Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be

        Unicode

/T:fg Sets the foreground/background colors (see COLOR /? for more info)

/E:ON Enable command extensions (see below)

/E:OFF  Disable command extensions (see below)

/F:ON Enable file and directory name completion characters (see below)

/F:OFF  Disable file and directory name completion characters (see below)

/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the

        delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the

        variable var at execution time.  The var syntax expands variables

        at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR

Larry did a function for a recursive filefindnext function

Should be faster than compiling a list. You could use a loop to change the suffix or search string

Found it

; Returns array. Either Array of files (full path) where...
