AndreaVB Forum : VB General : Checking one or more hdds to see if a file exists

icon Checking one or more hdds to see if a file exists

Heyas,

Alrighty.. I have already found this, but it doesnt do what i want it to do.

Basically what i want is to search one or more hard drives for a specifc file, lets just call it bla.exe   only that one needs to be searched for no others. It either saves it to the vb proggy or saves the path to a text file so it can be executed at will.

I have already found the code to execute it from a text file, so could make life a lil easier.

The one that i found saved the path and a few dates to the text file, thus i cant execute it because of the dates.

If anyone could help me, that would be great

Al

Hi, do you need code to search file on different hdd's or how to store file name to txt file and execute it later, or both?

Can the file you are searching for exist on two places, or there will be only one with specified name, so when you find it, you should quit the search and save its path in txt file?
