Global Variables

[lance]

Is there a global variable for just the c:\ for example _WindowsFolder = C:\Windows or
_SystemFolder = C:\Windows\System

I'm looking for just the root of C:\

Thanks

If you want the Root of the Drive that windows is on, you could do this:

WindowsRoot=String.Left(_WindowsFolder, 3)

Or you could use this

_CFolder = "C:\\"

[lance]

Yes but what I'm doing is searhing for a file. I do not know where the file is. If I creat a _cfolder = "c:\\" and use that in the
file.doesexist then it will only search the root of the c drive I need it to search all of the c drive not just the root.

I already answered this in a prior thread. If it's only the "C:\ drive" that you're concerned with (and not a source drive or something else), then all you need to do is search for the file, populate a table and ""recurse"" the sub-folders. Recurse meaning to search any and all folders/sub-folders on the C:\ drive. May take a while on some systems.

The problem is I need a true or false not the location of the file put into the Result variable..

[TJ_Tigger]

Use File.Find instead to search recursively through the directories. If the returned variable is nil then your file was not found

result = File.Find("C:\\", "yourfile.ext", true, true, nil);
if result == nil then
--your file was not found
else
--do something with the file here
end
