Fast file find

Is there a fast way of finding files in directories & subdirectories? I need a faster VI than the List Directory.

Hi,

If you use ms windows (NT, 2K, 98, 95), you can use "SearchTreeForFile" from
imagehlp.dll. I've a vi for it, send me a mail, and I'll mail it to you.

Or make a api call yourself :

DWORD SearchTreeForFile(
LPCTSTR lpszPath, // address of search path
LPCTSTR lpszFile, // address of filename
LPTSTR lpszReturnBuffer, // address of buffer for found filename
);

Return code soulh be non-zero.

Regards,

Wiebe.
