File. Find Help

[Widget]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an app that will look for multiple files with a dialog and when found write the file location to a text file. For testing I was looking for NWClientSettingsApp.exe located in the root of c:\. When I run my code it always finds the file in c:\recycle.bin. I tried searching for other files and they all say found in c:\recycle.bin. Can someone explain why it's finding C:\recycle.bin? I deleted all recycle bins for all users. Is there a better way to do this with mutliple files to find? Thanks!

  StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);
  StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Cancel");
  StatusDlg.SetCancelled(false);

 found = File.Find("C:\\", "NWClientSettingsApp.exe", true, true, nil, nil);
  StatusDlg.Hide();
if (found) then
    Dialog.Message("File Found", "The file is loacted in:" .. found[1]);
     TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\Information.txt", found[1], false);
end

Try this:

  StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONNONE, false);
  StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Cancel");
  StatusDlg.SetCancelled(false);

  found = File.Find("C:\\", "NWClientSettingsApp.exe", true, false, nil, nil);
  StatusDlg.Hide();

if (found) then 
    for i,v in pairs(found) do
    Dialog.Message("File Found", "The file is located in: " .. v);
    TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\Information.txt", v .. "\r\n", true);
end
