FileSystem: Serach File

[woogor]

I have 5000+ PDF files sitting in 300+ folders. I am not using any type of
database.

By using ASP, Can I:
1)Search for a file name, i.e. asp*.PDF or *asp.PDF; and,
2)Search for content, i.e. About ASP.

Please do NOT assume to use Windows Explorer to do the search.

Your prompt reply with a sample of code is appreciated.

From ASP, you can use Scripting.FilesystemObject for this purpose. This will
give you some ideas:

==================================
' Returns filename with specified extension. If more than one *.INI
' file exists, the first file found is returned.
MyFile = Dir("C:\WINDOWS\*.INI")

' Call Dir again without arguments to return the next *.INI file in the
' same directory.
MyFile = Dir()

' Return first *.TXT file, including files with a set hidden attribute.
MyFile = Dir("*.TXT", vbHidden)

' Display the names in C:\ that represent directories.
MyPath = "c:\" ' Set the path.
MyName = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory) ' Retrieve the first entry.
Do While MyName <> "" ' Start the loop.
' Use bitwise comparison to make sure MyName is a directory.
If (GetAttr(MyPath & MyName) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then
' Display entry only if it's a directory.
Debug.WriteLine(MyName)
End If
MyName = Dir() ' Get next entry.
Loop
==================================

Hope that helps.

Where are you using FileSystemObject in your example? Looks like straight
VBScript to me.

I use ADO to query the Microsoft Indexing Service. These links should get
you started.
