help with FileFindFirstFile ()

[rgj_time]

I need to search the hard drive for outlook .pst files. I also need to capture the path when a script finds the .pst. Can I use FileFindFirstFile () to accomplish this, or even autoit?

I think the quickest and dirtiest way of doing just that is piping a dir command to a text file. something like this should do the trick.

runwait(@comspec & ' /c dir c:\*.pst /s/b >pstlist.txt')

(the /b makes it output just the filenames, quite handy.)

You could then have autoit perform operations with For...Next commands on the text file's contents... though for that, I'll leave it up to you to do some research and get started a bit on your own...
