Search Files Within A Folder
Ok i have make a search on this topic but cant find a suitable answer.
What I want is that how can i do a search and compare within a folder
Example files that i have in a folder listed below.
28-Jan-08.dat
29-Jan-08.dat
Before creating a new .dat file it will compare the filename which is 29-Jan-08with the present date(29-Jan-08) if it exists it will not create it until it is on the next day of the month so bascailly when the time strucks 1200am which is on 30-Jan-08 then it will create a new .dat file which is 30-Jan-08.dat.
So how can i compare it??
I know something like this... but i not sure how can i go about it.
If getfilename != Date() then
Create a new .dat file
end if
anyone thanks.

VB Code:
Sub GetFiles(Path As String, Ext As String, ResultFileCount As Integer, ResultFileName As String, ResultBeforeDot As String)Dim FSO As New FileSystemObjectDim f, f1, FileList()Dim i As IntegerDim j As Integer i = 0 Set f = FSO.GetFolder(Path) For Each f1 In f.Files If LCase(Right(f1.Name, 3)) = Ext Then i = i + 1 ReDim Preserve FileList(i) Set FileList(i) = f1 Else GoTo EndRoutine End If' Put the filename and count in the varibles ResultFileName = ResultFileName + f1 + vbCrLf ResultFileCount = i ResultBeforeDot = Mid$(f1, Len(Path) + 1) NextEndRoutine:End Sub
The problem that I get is the following.
Got 10 files with the extention of .eps and try and look for a file with .bat It will only look at the eps and not the extention.
I'm wanting to use this as a replacment for FileListBox. This bit of code runs in a module, if thats any help.
Please contact me if more information is needed.
Many thanks for all your help. Merry Christmas..

VB6 - List Files In Folder To Array Question
VB6: I keep getting a type mismatch on this, and have no idea why. My goal is to create an array called sFiles, and have the function polulate it with each file name in the folder.
I've been so preoccupied learning .NET, I think I've forgotten VB6.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Code:
Dim sFiles() As String
Dim lCtr As Long
sFiles = AllFiles("C:Work")
For lCtr = 0 To UBound(sFiles)
MsgBox sFiles(lCtr)
Next
Private Function AllFiles(ByVal FullPath As String) _
As String()
Dim oFs As New FileSystemObject
Dim sAns() As String
Dim oFolder As Folder
Dim oFile As File
Dim lElement As Long
ReDim sAns(0) As String
If oFs.FolderExists(FullPath) Then
Set oFolder = oFs.GetFolder(FullPath)
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
lElement = IIf(sAns(0) = "", 0, lElement + 1)
ReDim Preserve sAns(lElement) As String
sAns(lElement) = oFile.Name
Next
End If
MsgBox sAns()
ErrHandler:
Set oFs = Nothing
Set oFolder = Nothing
Set oFile = Nothing

Search For Files And List Their Size And Type
Hey All,
I was wondering if there was a way that if you specified a drive or Root path, if there was a way to be returned details about all files found in folders and sub-folders. Eg. I search D: and i want the program to search for all files and return their name Path and size. And if the API (if thats what it is) is able to filter the results or something like that, so if i wanted to only search for files with a certain extension.
Thanks !

Piece Of Codes To List All Files (and In Sub-dirs) In Specified Folder ?
*I'm not talking about using Dir, File controls to show up the folders and files visually. But I'm talking about a code that will output the file locations.
I want to know how to output the result of detected files in specified folder I want to search for and put the result (Not 1 big result but keep updating 'string' variable with each of files it detects.
Let's say I want to search for files in this folder (test_patch) including files in it's sub-folders
The folder looks like this.
C:
- test_patch [FOLDER]
-- game_main.exe
-- patch1.pk3
-- patch2.pk3
--- dll_files [SUB-FOLDER]
--- engine.dll
--- kernel.dll
---- original_dll [SUB-FOLDER AGAIN]
---- engine.dll
---- kernel.dll
and I want the program to output these values.
game_main.exe
patch1.pk3
patch2.pk3
dll_filesengine.dll
dll_fileskernel.dll
dll_filesoriginal_dllengine.dll
dll_filesoriginal_dllkernel.dll
(cuts off full path, only show path in specified folder [means cuts off C: est_patch)
Thanks !

Move Files To Network Folder And Then Delete Old Ones At Local Folder
I am new at programming with VB6 and I would like to get some help.
I am trying to write a function meeting the following criteria:
* Moves all files (total of 3 files with different extensions)at a local folder (C:GraffitiWork) to a mapped network folder (that is persistent in drive lettering)and then
* replaces the files in the local folder with new ones that are blank (from another local folder named C:GraffitiMaster)
I have looked at the tips using the SHFileOperation function but when I looked at the msdn site, it states that "...you cannot use SHFileOperation to move special folders from a local drive to a remote computer by specifying a network path."
I need to have this done in order for a project to transfer these files on the command of the user to the network folder and then replace it with blank files for the next day's work.
Any help will be appreciated

Folder Search
I have made a testprogram, which should search for folders inside a directory. I have used the following code:
form:
Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call Bestanden(True)
Text1.Text = glbBedrijfMappenAantal
If glbBedrijfMappenAantal = 0 Then
Text2.Text = "Geen mappen gevonden"
Else
Text2.Text = glbBedrijfMappen(0)
End If
End Sub
Module:
Code:
Option Explicit
Global glbBedrijfMappen() As String
Global glbBedrijfMappenAantal As Integer
Public Function Bestanden(SearchFor As Boolean)
Dim a As String
Dim b As String
Dim C As Integer
Dim Path As String
Dim intChunkSize As Integer
ReDim glbBedrijfMappen(intChunkSize)
intChunkSize = 20
C = 0 ' Begin te tellen bij 0
If SearchFor = True Then ' Dan is het een bedrijfzoekopdracht
Path = "E:VBscriptsPDAtoolin" ' De hoofdmap
End If
a = Dir$(Path, vbDirectory)
b = Dir$(Path)
Do While Len(a) > 0
If a = "." Or a = ".." Or a = "questions" Or a = "answers" Then
'Deze mappen niet meenemen.
Else
If C = UBound(glbBedrijfMappen) Then ' See if we have enough space
ReDim Preserve glbBedrijfMappen(C + intChunkSize) ' Increase array size
End If
If (GetAttr(Path & a) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then ' Is het een map
glbBedrijfMappen(C) = a ' Toevoegen aan array
glbBedrijfMappenAantal = C ' Totaal aantal mappen
End If
a = Dir$ ' Zoek de volgende op
C = C + 1 ' Tel er 1 bij het getal op
End If
Loop
End Function
Problem that occures is that the program Freezes. Which means, using Cntr. Alt Delete I have to shut it off.
I am searching in the this map:
E:VBscriptsPDAtoolin
in it are the maps "answers", "questions", "cyl"
This script should return "cyl" as value of glbBedrijfNaamMappen(0) and should have the value 1 in glbBedrijfNaamMappenAantal
Can someone see the problem (I think it has 2 do with the path I gave, because it seems like it is looping endless.
Folder Search
Hi, I have created a program that launches a specific application when a button is pressed. I have included an options form that enables the user to change the file path and name of the program that is launched. This value is saved in the registry and then used by setting a string value with the REGGetSetting command.
The user also has the option of clicking on a browse button. This opens up an 'Open file' dialog and enabled the user to find the program file them self and select it. The path and name of this file is then entered into the registry. Is there a way of replacing this with a folder selection window instead? Like the ones used in Windows for driver file searching. Ask me if you need futher explanation of my problem (I'm not very good at explaining!).
Thanks in advance!
