 Find Files in Directories and Child Directories Using Search Pattern.
 
  Home > Source Code > Files and Directories > Find Files
 
  The following zip file contains a class module called clsFindFile written in VB6.  To use the class you must set two properties. First, the path property, second the pattern property.  The path folder is the folder which the class begins searching in, it also searches every sub folder.  The pattern property can be a wildcard search pattern such as: '*.exe' for all files with the extension .exe, or 'a*.*' for all files beginning with the letter a.  After defining the two properties you use the function FindFiles.  Once the function has began it will raise an event every time a file is found.  After the search a few more resulting properties are created such as total files found and total directories.
