Hi all,

I am trying to do a directory search including subdirectories, but I can not get it to work.
I want to list all the Files and Directories that have the search test in there names
Here is the Function that I call.

Code: Select all


Function p_SearchDir(SearchDir$)

sd = OpenDirectory(NIL,SearchDir$)
Entry = NextDirectoryEntry(sd)
While Entry <> 0
  If Entry.type = #DOSTYPE_FILE
   If FindStr(Entry.name,SearchString$,False) > -1
      mui.DoMethod("ListSearch","Insert","Bottom",Entry.name)
    Endif 
  Endif
  If Entry.type = # DOSTYPE_DIRECTORY
     NSearchDir$ = SearchDir$..Entry.name
     p_SearchDir(NSearchDir$)
     mui.DoMethod("ListSearch","Insert","Bottom",Entry.name)
  Endif
  Entry = NextDirectoryEntry(sd)
Wend
CloseDirectory(sd)

EndFunction

Could anybody tell me what I have to do to get this to work.

I get an Error Requested object not found.

Thanks
