search, find and open the specified filename in the corresponding folder. Topic is solved

[chngrcn]

There is a folder called "document" under the C drive. There are several folders in this folder. I give a folder from 1 to 20 folders. Let's say folder names 1, 2, 3 continue to 4 .... 20. "1234.pdf" file exists in any folder. The path to the folder is not clear.

I want to;

I put 1234 (file name) into the editbox and when I press the buton, it will search for and open the 1234.pdf file in the folders in the path c: \ document \.

If the file name contains "-" "space" characters, the search result does not find anything. I also do not want to write the file extension in EditBox. Let's add the file extensions into a combobox next to it. I want to find the extension we want and just want to find the name of the file.

I'm sorry. I do not understand. Can you write a bit different?

BTW: It was BoBo who has offer your solution. I just made a very little correction for your detailed issue.
The honor is due to BoBo.

for english

the name of the file searched for: divanebaba-23 chngrcn.pdf
the file name does not search when there are spaces and characters such as "-".
can we find a solution?


for turkish

aranan dosyanın adı mesela : divanebaba-23 chngrcn.pdf
dosya adı içinde, boşluk ve "-" gibi karakterler olduğu zaman arama yapmıyor.
çözüm bulabilirmiyiz ?

for german

Der Name der gesuchten Datei: divanebaba-23 chngrcn.pdf
Der Dateiname sucht nicht, wenn Leerzeichen und Zeichen wie "-" vorhanden sind.
Können wir eine Lösung finden?

This problem is fixed. I've tested with a bunch of spaces and really crazy names.

[chngrcn]

I try different file names but can not find them. do not find the Turkish characters in the file name?
* .pdf is not. I write the direct file name, can not find the file.

Hi.
This code

Code: Select all

Run, cmd /c where /r "%destFolder%" "%filename%.pdf" /f | clip ,, Hide

looks only for pdf-files.
To search for, you have to prevent typing the filetype-mime.

I've tested with turkish characters and it works.

As I said, the code I've corrigated looks only for pdf-files and this only, when you don't type the mime-type.
In my example, filename was Şeşı - gğ.pdf but into the search field I just have typed Şeşı - gğ.
You said

... I also do not want to write the file extension in EditBox. Let's add the file extensions into a combobox next to it. ...

If you later insert a ComboBox for your filetypes, we can change the code to match even them.
