Hi,

It possible to let AutoIt search for directories inside another directory? For exaple:

You want to know the directory name from a directory that's in another directory. Can AutoIt do that?

Thanks!

FileFindFirstFile() and FileFindNextFile(). See help file sample.

Cheers

Kurt

If you do not want a recurrsive search then lookup _FileListToArray in the help file and look at the flags.

Just put the directory you want to search...

Func _DirRecurse($hDirectory)
    RunWait(@Comspec & ' /c dir /b /s /a "' & $hDirectory & '" > "' & _
        @TempDir & '\RecursivOutput.txt"', @WorkingDir, @SW_HIDE)
    If Not FileExists(@TempDir & '\RecursivOutput.txt') Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Local $sFRead = FileRead(@TempDir & '\RecursivOutput.txt')
    FileDelete(@TempDir & '\RecursivOutput.txt')
    Return $sFRead
EndFunc

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

OK, I'll explain what I want to do:

I want to search for other user accounts, now I only know howto check the logged in user , but I want to check if there are more profiles. Is that possible?

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
$profile_path = EnvGet("USERPROFILE")
Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFile, $stExt

$retarray = _PathSplit($profile_path,$szDrive,$szDir,$szFile,$stExt)

$profile_dir = $szDrive & $szDir
$profile_list = _FileToArray($profile_dir)
_ArrayDisplay($profile_list,"All User Profiles")

Cheers

That's not a working example Kurt... I can see you did a me and probably typed in the fast reply window :)

Did you mean something like?

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
$profile_path = EnvGet("USERPROFILE")
Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFile, $stExt

$retarray = _PathSplit($profile_path,$szDrive,$szDir,$szFile,$stExt)

$profile_dir = $szDrive & $szDir
$profileList = _FileListToArray($profile_dir)
_ArrayDisplay($profileList,"All User Profiles")

Yep, you're right. _FileToArray should read _FileListToArray. Thanks.

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
$profile_path = @HomeDrive & @HomePath
ConsoleWrite($profile_path & @CRLF)
Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFile, $stExt

$retarray = _PathSplit($profile_path,$szDrive,$szDir,$szFile,$stExt)

$profile_dir = $szDrive & $szDir
$profileList = _FileListToArray($profile_dir)
_ArrayDisplay($profileList,"All Profile Folders")

Just a mod to some previous copied code to get all profile folders in "HomePath". :)

Even shorter with @UserProfileDir

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
Dim $szDrive, $szDir, $szFile, $stExt

$retarray = _PathSplit(@UserPofileDir,$szDrive,$szDir,$szFile,$stExt)

$all_profiles_dir = $szDrive & $szDir
$profile_list = _FileListToArray($all_profiles_dir)
_ArrayDisplay($profile_list,"All Profile Folders")

Cheers
