How to search for a file..

Shah Satish

Hi!!! I am just beginner in this field. I want to search for one specified file from the folder. as in I have one file called “WG_LL.txt “in my file.. n in each Webdoku section this file is contain inside loopo folder..ie File WG_LL.txt file is always inside of loopo folder but the location of loopo folder is different. For example… I created one dialogue box… and it contain my Webdoku section and path of the section.. Webdoku section Path of the section DEMO70E D:\Progsample\ProdV70E\ProdMast\ DEMO70D C:\project\webdoku\ SAMPLE D:\Prog. sample\ProdV70E\WebDoku\ DEMO80D E:\blabla\webdoku\ DEMO60E D:\Progsample\WebDoku\ WT1 \\rekafs\Projekte_USB\myfolder\9_WebDoku\ WT2 \\rekafs\Projekte_USB\myfolder\9_WebDoku\ If suppose, I select DEMO70E from my dialogue box then it should be search for “WG_LL.txt file” and here path of the file is …D:\Progsample\ProdV70E\WebDoku\loopo\WG.LL.txt. If suppose I select DEMO60E, then it should be search for file “WG_LL.txt” and path of the file is D:\Progsample\WebDoku\loopo\WG_LL.txt.. If suppose I select WT1, then it should be search for file “WG_LL.txt” and path of the file is \\rekafs\Projekte_USB\myfolder\9_WebDoku\WT1\loopo\WG_LL.txt In short, here I want to search for loopo folder coz WG_LL.txt” file will be contain in Loopo folder…Here I have some code in this file (WG_LL.txt) so I need this file. In my method…my section = selected Webdoku section (for example..DEMO70E) & Mypath =selected section path ( D:\Progsample\ProdV70E\ProdMast\) So how can I find that file with location of the path. Thank you very much… Shah Satish

If you want to search for a file you can use of FindFirstFile/FindNext` * * * WhiteSky * * * `

Honestly, I didn't understand your query. But from the subject of your query, just check if

PathFileExists()

would be useful to you.

function. Click here[^] to read about this function on msdn (with example)

but in my case, I have to search a file from the path.. in your example...path is fixed..like " C:\\TEST\\file.txt" but in my case first of all ,it will search in test folder and then if it will found then return path of the file.. Shah Satish.

In that case, check out WhiteSky's answer. That would be helpful for you.

Thanks, I know it. See this[^] post of that guy. He specified a file name and then a path too! That's the reason for me to have suggested him this particular function.

So if you already know the file's path, why not use _access("D:\\progrsample\\prodv70E\\prodmast\\wg_ll.txt, 0)?

Your question is very incoherent.

Since you already know the location of the file, what in the world are you searching for? :confused: If you simply want to search for a file, the answer has already been provided here.
