FindFirstFile

[mlowther]

Hello,
I'm familiar with the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile APIs, but can you use these for an advanced search for files that contain specified text? If not, what does? (much like the Find Files/Folders function on the start menu)

Thanks

See the following for FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.

FindFirstFile and FindNextFile don't have any 'with text' search capabilities.

Personally I don't think any api does this directly (i could be wrong so check)

Do it yerself with standard VB.

Check this thread for example code thread (http://forums.vb-world.net/showthread.php?threadid=32897) - answer by Yonatan ;)

have fun.
