Get drive letter from drive label

[meekaah]

Hi, im looking for a way to find a drive letter from a drive label

I want to be able to find a specific drive letter that will allways have the same label "MYPHONE"

so i was thinking to do a loop through all usb removable devices with $drive=DriveGetDrive( "removable" )

and get the labels with DriveGetLabel($drive)

but cant find a way

please help

something like

$var = DriveGetDrive( "removable" )

For $i = 1 to $var[0]
$name = DriveGetLabel($var[$i])
Next


Do
    Sleep(100)  
Until $name = "MYPONE"

MsgBox(64,"Info", "Found!")

But it doesnt work..

      Sleep(100)    
  Until $name = "MYPONE"
  
  MsgBox(64,"Info", "Found!")

But it doesnt work..

Loops don't run in parallel. That second loop will do nothing until the first completes.

$var = DriveGetDrive( "removable" )

For $i = 1 to $var[0]
$name = DriveGetLabel($var[$i])
If $name = "MYPONE" Then
MsgBox(64,"Info", "Found!")
EndIf
Next

Oh but now that i actually think of it, how would i know WHICH letter drive is associated to "MYPHONE" label, once it is found...?

EDIT ok nevermnd i dont take the time to think a little bit , my bad

$var = DriveGetDrive( "removable" )
$usb = "MYPHONE"

For $i = 1 to $var[0]
$name = DriveGetLabel($var[$i])
If $name = $usb Then
MsgBox(64,"Info", "MYPHONE found in "& $var[$i] & "\")
EndIf
Next
