Search Object

[JohnZ]

Hi There
Is there a tutorial for the search object any where, I can get it to work.



1. I have a folder called 'library' with a text file that contains the word 'monkey'.

2. I'm setting the search directory: 'Appdrive$+Appdir$+"library'

3. I'm using simple search 'monkey'

I'm not getting any results. Any ideas?

Cheers
John

Should read 'can't get it to work' DOH!

You might have to add a wildcard to the end of that because you haven't specified a file extension.

Try searching for 'monkey.*'

If that doesn't work try searching for *.*


Edit: Also try adding a trailing backslash to the end of your search.

'Appdrive$+Appdir$+"library'

Will actually return C:\Programs\GameFolderlibrary

You want to try:

'Appdrive$+Appdir$+"\library\'

Returning: C:\Programs\GameFolder\library\

Hi netninja

Thanks for your reply.

i'm trying to find words in documents (searching a directory of files and returning the file that has that word in it) and i've tried adding the backslash with no results.


A working example would be most welcome

Cheers
