Search Through Subdirectories

[kezzab]

Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can search through a number (hundreds) of sub directories on a file system looing for a particulary ini file in each directory and if it is found then return the directory it is in?

I have had a look using the FSO objects but cannot get it to work.

Thanks in advance

Two thoughts:[ol][li]This is a classic recursive function which can be solved using [tt]Dir()[/tt]. I would give you a code snipit but recursion gives me a headache.[/li][li]Try looking at the [tt]FileSearch[/tt] class of the Office Library (specifically the [tt]FoundFiles[/tt] object) in the Help files.[/li][/ol]

Hope this helps,
