Search for multiple files in folders ......

[BigBoss]

Here is my problem....
-My client has the choice of selecting files for download, and verifing that they are not already installed.
-Say I have in my DB 50 files, they all have the same name, BUT they are different files.....
-My user need to know that say "file1.txt" is already on his computer.
-In the DB, the zip names are file1-1.zip, file1-2.zip etc.
-When he goes to chose a file, he is shown "file1-1", "file1-2" etc.
-Since I cannot name 50 zips with the same name, the code :
SEARCH FOR FILE
Store in Variable %filexists%
Search for File %name%.txt

Does not work......
I have tryed different wildcards, to no avail.......

Any help/Ideas please.... ;-p

Re: Search for multiple files in folders ......

BigBoss,

What type of error are you getting? What is being returned in the file search variable? How are you setting %name%? Are you sure that it contains the proper value before it enters the file search action? Please note that you can add a Dialog.MessageBox action to show the contents of a variable at any time during the install. Please add some of these and get back to me with the results.
