How would you go about searching for a keyword in a file name (in a certain location) then open the file explorer to list the search results?

 

Basically, in autocad it would prompt a question (What keyword are you looking for?) User could type in Help. Then, it would open a file explorer in (C:\Test Files\) and show the search results of all the (*Help*) files.

 

Hopefully, that is not to confusing.

 

Thank you for any ideas how to do this. I am at a lost.

Why not use the search bar built into Windows Explorer ?

Posted

I currently do that now. I run this, then in the search bar I type in what I am looking for.

 

(startapp "explorer" (strcat "/e, C:\\Test Files"))

Everything.exe a great tool blows away explorer, when finding a file it is instant to find a file any where on multiple hard drives.
