getdrives and locate
hi all
i have a newbie question :rolleyes:
in post http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....hreadid=210817 there was this script by sreedhar_kumar for getting drive types and another script for serching files by predefined vars (filename/drive etc...)
if ${GetDrives} detects one of my drives as FDD, is there a way to use ${GetDrives} "FDD" and then use "locate" on the drive letter found without searching drive a:?

i'm trying to run a search on a mis-identified thumb-drive (which changes it's drive letter each time i disconnect it) and still skip searching the real floppy drive.

help would be appriciated.
