how to locate .exe file in pc harddisk programatically using labview same as search option in Windows.

[samriddh]

Hi,

I want locate a file which is a third party exe file.

For this purpose i should know programatically how many drives are present on the PC Hard Disk.

I made a VI to fetch the information about how many drives or partitions are present on the harddisk.

I am able to find that information and are able to locate each & every folder available on each drive.

But i am not able to that function in LabvIEW which can solve my problem and search for that .exe file for its existance on the PC disk.

THe idea is same as the search files and folders option in windows.  

Can anybody help me in this problem.

Use the "recursive file list.vi" under the "file io->Advanced file options" pallete.

wire "*.exe" to locate all the vailable exe to the "pattern" control of this vi
