Search function?

[autoITnewbie]

hi,

how do I scan for a file in system drive and append the path file to a text file or append it to a variable?

I can do it AutoIT 2 but I couldn't figure out how to do it AutoIT3 but in AutoIT 2 I still have to use batch command to search and append it to a Text file and then using AutoIT 2 to read each line if there are more than one path.

please help

Many thanks

if you can do it in v2 what is the need to rewrite it in v3?

What about

Do
   $filename = InputBox("Search","What is the filename?")
   If @error  = 1 then Exit
Until Not $filename = ""
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "dir C:\ /s > C:\Temp\dir.txt")
$file = FileOpen("C:\temp\dir.txt",0)
If @error = -1 then 
   MsgBox(0,"Error","File Open Error")
   Exit
EndIf
While 1
   $line = FileReadLine($file)
   If @error = -1 then 
      $bailout = 1
      ExitLoop; EOF
   EndIf
   If Not StringInString($line,$filename) = "" Then
      MsgBox(0,"Found It",$line)
      ExitLoop
   Endif
   Sleep(10)
Wend

If $bailout = 1 then MsgBox(0,"Error","File Not Found")
