The functions are much better to use:

Search For a File
Search file or directory (alternative)

I think the easier to follow is the first one and it has an example of use. The second one has more options but doesn't have examples.

I will write a simplified function for you today (when I get home!)
It's simpler to do than the code you have.

Thx 4 hellp'n the n00b.
Afrow UK, I looked in your profile and at "FindIt: Simple search for file / directory" could not figure it out.

I had time in Computing to do it:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...22&instances=0

I haven't tested it, but it should work.

Change this:


  FileWrite $R5 "$R0\$R4$\r$\n"
  FindNext $R3 $R4

To this:


  StrCpy $R4 $R4 -4
  FileWrite $R5 "$R0\$R4$\r$\n"
  FindNext $R3 $R4

Use GetParent from the docs (i.e. to strip "half-life" from the end). Then use this function to get the account name.

Hello,

I'm trying to create an uninstall log for a lot of files to get a safe uninstallation routine going (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=350538) and came here because of this entry http://nsis.sourceforge.net/MakeFile...files_from_dir

I was successful creating a list with MakeFileList, but it does not include subdirectories.

Originally posted by Yathosho

Does working recursively mean include subdirectories? If so, the following link posted by Stu is not working anymore.

Maybe someone knows what he meant or how I can create the list with subdirectories or has some tip on the topic in my thread posted above. I would really appreciate it.

Greetings,
Seban
