Finding all files in subfolders?

Post by Phil Pendlebury » Mon Sep 07, 2020 5:13 am

Greetings everyone,

Was there ever any simple solution to this?

I need to search a folder for specific file spec and include all subfolders in that search. Then return the path of each matching file found;.

I searched the forum a lot and am currently using the DOS method but it is rather ungainly as the search needs to be updated quite regularly.

It would be great if there was switch on GetFileList> that allowed this.

Cheers,

P.

Hi Phil,

GetFileList still isn't recursive.
Yes, we have a Custom Scripting Service. Message me or go here

Hi buddy, Yes I realise that. That is why I said:

But I was wondering if there may be any new ingenious way to do this. :-) As I can't find any discussion on this since 2015...
