Search script

Post by JordyDB »

Can someone help me with making this script, it's completely new for me:

Each night at 3 o'clock the script should run.
When it runs it has to search on a variable (wich comes out of a database) in all the files (content and name) of the C-drive.
The filter should be:
(Sample) OR (SampleID AND Staining) OR (SampleID AND Staining)
All the founded files should be putten in a table (or in case that doesn't work in a text file) with the attributes date modified, date created, Titel, Path, Owner, Type

Thanks in advance.

Can you post your script? What errors are you geting? What is the isse you are trying to solve?

If you do not know how to start look in the script sharing section for scripts that do most of what you want and start there.

I guessit is time for you to start writing a script. Post back with any ptoblems.

I would say tht ther are at last 2 dozen script in the sharing section that can be used as startere. I know becuse I put many of them in ther myself.

Use the 'advanced search' to find them.
Can't find a script in the vbscript sharing section. Tried keywords 'search' 'content' 'word' 'file'...
