This is a recursive search that Larry made a long time ago:

; _FileSearch( <Path and Mask>, <Option (0 - normal, 1- recursive)>)
; Returns array. Either Array of files (full path) where...
; Array[0] is number of files.
; Array[0] = 0 if nothing found.
;
; EXAMPLE USAGE
;--------------------------------------------
$a = _FileSearch("C:\surf\*.exe",0)
If $a[0] > 0 Then
    For $i = 1 to $a[0]
         MsgBox(4096,"",$a[$i])
    Next
EndIf
;--------------------------------------------

Func _FileSearch($szMask,$nOption)
    $szRoot = ""
    $hFile = 0
    $szBuffer = ""
    $szReturn = ""
    $szPathList = "*"
    Dim $aNULL[1]

    If Not StringInStr($szMask,"\") Then
         $szRoot = @SCRIPTDIR & "\"
    Else
         While StringInStr($szMask,"\")
              $szRoot = $szRoot & StringLeft($szMask,StringInStr($szMask,"\"))
              $szMask = StringTrimLeft($szMask,StringInStr($szMask,"\"))
         Wend
    EndIf
    If $nOption = 0 Then
         _FileSearchUtil($szRoot, $szMask, $szReturn)
    Else
         While 1
              $hFile = FileFindFirstFile($szRoot & "*.*")
              If $hFile >= 0 Then
                   $szBuffer = FileFindNextFile($hFile)
                   While Not @ERROR
                        If $szBuffer <> "." And $szBuffer <> ".." And _
                             StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($szRoot & $szBuffer),"D") Then _
                             $szPathList = $szPathList & $szRoot & $szBuffer & "*"
                        $szBuffer = FileFindNextFile($hFile)
                   Wend
                   FileClose($hFile)
              EndIf
              _FileSearchUtil($szRoot, $szMask, $szReturn)
              If $szPathList == "*" Then ExitLoop
              $szPathList = StringTrimLeft($szPathList,1)
              $szRoot = StringLeft($szPathList,StringInStr($szPathList,"*")-1) & "\"
              $szPathList = StringTrimLeft($szPathList,StringInStr($szPathList,"*")-1)
         Wend
    EndIf
    If $szReturn = "" Then
         $aNULL[0] = 0
         Return $aNULL
    Else
         Return StringSplit(StringTrimRight($szReturn,1),"*")
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func _FileSearchUtil(ByRef $ROOT, ByRef $MASK, ByRef $RETURN)
    $hFile = FileFindFirstFile($ROOT & $MASK)
    If $hFile >= 0 Then
         $szBuffer = FileFindNextFile($hFile)
         While Not @ERROR
              If $szBuffer <> "." And $szBuffer <> ".." Then _
                   $RETURN = $RETURN & $ROOT & $szBuffer & "*"
              $szBuffer = FileFindNextFile($hFile)
         Wend
         FileClose($hFile)
    EndIf
EndFunc

[u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote]

Here's one that I made, but it's very limited. It's just an example. It will search main folder and subfolders, but not the files/folders inside this last one.

#include <File.au3>

$MainFolderPath=@MyDocumentsDir

$FoldersInMain=_FileListToArray($MainFolderPath,"*.",2)

$TestFile=FileOpen("Test.txt",1)
FileWriteLine($TestFile,$MainFolderPath)

For $i=1 To $FoldersInMain[0]
    FileWriteLine($TestFile,"-->" & $FoldersInMain[$i])
    $FilesInSubFolders=_FileListToArray($MainFolderPath & "\" & $FoldersInMain[$i])
    For $a=1 To $FilesInSubFolders[0]
        FileWriteLine($TestFile,"-------->" & $FilesInSubFolders[$a])
    Next
Next
