Findfirst/next issue
Hi,

I am attempting to locate 2 subfolders within a given path and output them to a text file.

The problem i have is locating the second subfolder.

For example :
The full path is
c:\top\mid\parent\child

I already know the c:\top\mid but subfolders parent and child will have different names depending on configuration within a 3rd party application.

Using findfirst i can locate and register the folder 'parent'. I append this to a text file with the original path and search again but this time find nothing.
I have even tried to split the searches into 2 seprate functions - only the parent function returns a result.
Obviously - in testing this i know for sure that folders parent and child exist.

Parent ClearErrors FindFirst$0 $1 "C:\top\mid\*.*" >StrCmp $1 "." +2 StrCpy$2 "$1$\r$\n" >loop: >FindNext $0 $1 IfErrors end StrCmp$1 ".." loop StrCpy$2 "$2$1$\r$\n" >goto loop end: >StrCmp $2 "" 0 +2 MessageBox MB_OK"Error! No Files found" IDOK +2 MessageBox MB_OK "Files found: $\r$\n$2" >FileOpen $9 C:Path1.txt w FileWrite$9 "C:\top\mid\" FileWrite $9 "$2"
FileClose $9
FindClose $0
