Hi,

I want to search files from folders and subfolders that contains specific text. Like window's search criteria.

Send me Asp code or VB code for it, with Thanks

Regards

Salman

Tell you what, I can tell you how to make this script, because I have done it for my intranet.

Just to tell you, you need understanding of file system object.

I would suggest setup an array of folder paths (Virtual or literal paths), where you want the script to search.

Using the For loop, textstream method and instr method you can search thorugh the files. If you find the file well you can take the file into a string. After the loop is over, just write the files and provide a direct link to the file.

Well I can do more, but I am little lazy today.....

Some people just don't understand that they can't just pop on to a discussion forum and start spitting out orders...

People want help on something?  i see that as fine, and will do my best to help.. others do the same

if people post: "do this for me, i don't want to learn, i just want the code"... screw 'em, they can find somewhere else as far as i am concerned......

hey salman and all you other newbies that dont want to try make a script on your own and just coming here and nearly commands ppl to help you with a complete script, SCREW YOU.. try on your own BEFORE you ask for help.. you can start searching the Internet for a sample script or a tutorial on asp,(aspin.com, pscode.com, w3schools.com, webwiz.net) THEN when you have tried, come back and ask politely for help, then maybe someone wants to help you out..

if someone ASKS me to help, im glad to help if i can, but if someone COMMANDS me to help, then i dont want to help them.. and i think im not alone about this...

OKAY?? yeah..

I'd like to note that for many in this forum, English is not their primary language and posts will often come across as abrasive when that was not the intent at all. Also, many who come here are new at programming, and new to the decorum followed by most help forums. That decorum presumes you will indicate what your problem is, and how you've tried to resolve it so far.

I remember being "stuck" on simple things as a newbie and required some handholding until I learned how to troubleshoot, so I don't mind helping people get jumpstarted.

However, it starts to become abusive when people don't at least make an attempt to do it by themselves first. They seem to think my time is less valuable than theirs. Some seem to want everything done for them. If you need that much help. Pay me!

such an excellent reply......

and the "however" part of your reply is my (and others) exact issue with this ASP-newbie... there is obviously absolutely zero effort shown that there has been even the slightest attempt at hell, even just searching for a script that does the asked functions

being stuck and need help?  i'll spend some time and spit out some lines of code, some links to where code exists, etc

being lazy or acting stupid about it?  couldn't have said the line They seem to think my time is less valuable than theirs any better myself...

kuch aata nahi aur $57.99 chahiye

i prefer to try first we i wont succeed then i will go for help out in internet or to my teacher

and you know i tried toooooooo much and found the solution by trying 10's of time and i take dozen of minutes but after then the sign of relief is like this .........

I'd putted a question about "searching files containing text"  and found 12 reply. But no body gave serious answer to me. I'm very sorry to waist the time from that guys. they are just joking but not professional and serious in about this site.
