VI to locate files?

[Rick Nelson]

Hello all,

I am creating a VI that locates all VI's and controls that are sub-VI's
of a user-input VI. Using the "property node" -> "Callees" function, I
can get the names of all the sub-VI's, but I need the paths.

Does anyone know how to locate the path of a file given the filename?
I'm sure this has been done before. It would have to use recursion to
seach all dirs, and I've already done two recursive VI's today and it's
driving me nuts.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hello

Just open a VI reference for each VI name and use the property node "VI
path.

Rick, it has been done. You don't need recursion, BTW. Richt now i'm in a
hurry, just browsing through my mails. I try to post my solution to the
forum next couple of days. Drop me a note if you interested.
