Wolvereness Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I have a script that I want to take all 'files' and write them down into a central file (called AU3Log.txt). The problem lies in searching inside of a sub-directory that was previously found using FindFirst and FindNExt functions. I could only think of using a copy-paste command to copy the script into the sub-folder and have it un from there with an .ini file giving it the directions for writing the log. I could then delete the copied file after it finishes but the problem with this is the obvious massive copying of the script. Is there way way to amke this script work the way that I wanted it to? The basis for finding the sub-dir is using an array and counting up how many files are in that array. I would then send it into a loop to search those first folders and add any sub-sub-folders that it finds into the list (array). Even ff you can't help me with this problem but you can help wth my script command usage I would be also thankful. (This script is being writen to be used as a diagnostic on scripting languages to be entered into a high-school science fair aiming for the State-wide fair.)

Wolvereness Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) While $CountB <> $CountA $CountB = $CountB + 1 $First = FileFindFirstFile(@WorkingDir & "\" & $FileList[$CountB][1] & "\" & "*") $File = FileFindNextFile($First) While NOT @error If $File = "0" OR $File = ".." OR $File = "." OR StringInStr("H",FileGetAttrib($File)) <> "0" Then ElseIf StringInStr("D",FileGetAttrib($File)) = "0" Then FileWrite($Log,$FileList[$CountB][1] & "\" $File & @CRLF); I need this to return the current path before the file... Else $CountA = $CountA + 1 ReDim $FileList[$CountA + 1][3] $FileList[$CountA][1] = $FileList[$CountB][1] & "\" & $File; I need this to have the $FileList[$CountB][1] & $File ;for the next call into that folder (the whole point of this loop EndIf $File = FileFindNextFile($First); I need this to continue searching in $FileList[$CountB][1] WEnd FileClose($First) WEnd FileClose($Log) That is what I came up with for the second half of the script (after I researched the _FileSearch), but the $First = FileFindFirstFile(@WorkingDir & "\" & $FileList[$CountB][1] & "\" & "*")Keeps failing, it is the equal to the (should I say popular?) _FileSearch command. The difference between this script and the usage of the _FileSearch is that I need to find the shortest possible way to do this task, and trying to strip the stacking of variables out of the _FileSearch I get lost constantly.

Wolvereness Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Sorry, I found the problem to be when looking up the information on the current file, it did not calculate the directory the file was in. Therefor, it never came out with the right information disableing the ability to sort the file correctly. Offering any help to anyone (to my capabilities of course)Want to say thanks? Click here!
