FindFile
My installer ( I 've already created 4-5 topic to complete it :)) used to make similiar operations on several dozens files. I looked through the help and write the following code.

Section ""
SetoutPath "$INSTDIR\Missions\"
File "Files\pbtl.exe"
FindFirst $0 $1 "$INSTDIR\Missions\*.pbo"
loop:
DetailPrint $1
;Operations on file $1
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\Missions\pbtl.exe" -u $1'
Delete "$INSTDIR\Missions\$1"
;<dirname> is just $1 without extension(pbo)
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\Missions\pbtl.exe" -p <dirname>'
Delete /r "$INSTDIR\Missions\<dirname>\*.*"
FindNext $0 $1
IfErrors 0 +2
goto end
Goto loop
end:
Delete "$INSTDIR\Missions\pbtl.exe"
SectionEnd

How can I get <dirname> ?

        FindFirst $0 $1 "$INSTDIR\Missions\*.pbo"

        loop1:

        FindNext $0 $1
        IfErrors 0 loop1

        FindFirst $0 $1 "$INSTDIR\Missions\*.*"

        loop2:
        StrCmp $1 '.' next
        StrCmp $1 '..' next
        IfFileExists "$1\*.*" 0 next

        next:
        FindNext $0 $1
        IfErrors 0 loop2

        Delete "$INSTDIR\Missions\pbtl.exe"
SectionEnd

That's great! It works, but I don't how :( (i mean second part)

StrCmp $1 '.' next
StrCmp $1 '..' next

What's this?
And I need one little addition to this script:
Directory "$INSTDIR\Missions\Resistance" should be skiped.

StrCmp $1 '.' next
StrCmp $1 '..' next
StrCmp $1 'Resistance' next
IfFileExists "$1\*.*" 0 next
...

10x but I also find alternative way :)

IfFileExists "$1\*.*" 0 next
DetailPrint "Directory: $1"
IffileExists "$INSTDIR\Missions\Resistance\$1\mission.sqm" 0 +2
Execwait '"$INSTDIR\Missions\Resistance\pbtl.exe" -p $1'

All directories that should be packed contain mission.sqm...

I also need to do similiar search for "$INSTDIR\Missions\Resistance" (it also contains some pbo's)
Is there any elegant way or I should just repeat the code with different path ?

If you're speaking in another language, at least provide translation for other users.

For any complex operations you can use function "Locate"

WordFunc.nsh + TextFunc.nsh + FileFunc.nsh
