Recursive Searching....

[jhinesyo]

Hello All,

I've been reviewing this excellent Recursive Search code found here: hxxp://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42049

For some reason, when I get the array back, it has stripped out the '\' within the full path + file name.

So instead of

d:\myfolder\mysubfolder\myfile.txt

I get

d:myfoldermysubfoldermyfile.txt

is there anyway for me to get back that critical \ in the path, I want to take this array, open these files and edit them one by one with the full path.

thanks!

CODE

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syntax: File_Search($szRoot, [$Szmask = "*.*"[, $nFlag = 1[, $nOcc = 0]]])

Parameters: $szRoot = the folder to start searching from

$Szmask = The file mask (Default *.* returns all)

$nFlag (Optional) Default is 7 Can be added as follows

1 = Recursive Search

2 = Path and Filename

4 = Sorted array

$nOcc (Optional) - 1 = Return only the first matching file, anything else = Return all matching files (Default)

Requirements: Array.au3 for _ArraySort function

Return Values: On Success - Returns an array of the file names

On Failure - Returns 0

Modifications: Changed return value to an array

Now excepts an array or a '|' separated list to use multiple file masks

Accepts flags to return full path and/or sort the array

Note If sorting is not used then you do not have to #include array.au3

Example: $var = _FileSearch("C:\", "*.vbs|*.js") will return a sorted array of all the vbs and js files (including path) on C:\ drive

#include <Array.au3>

Well, I may have found my own answer- I knew I shouldn't have posted so quick

Down, in the return section of the function, I commented out this line, and the array now returns with the appropriate \ within it.

I will leave this post so this may help the next "fast poster"

;$szReturn = StringReplace($szReturn,'\', '')

as always, thanks!
