Summary
Used to find the full file path based on the filename
Overview
The process performs a recursive search on specified drives/directories or a system-wide search can also be performed.
It has two inputs and one output :
- Inputs :
- FileName: Provide the file name that has to be searched. Wildcard characters can also be used. Eg: "test.csv", "*.csv"
- SearchDirectories: Provide the drives or the directories where the file has to be searched as an array. If this field is left blank, the file will be searched in all the directories. Eg: {"E:\" , "F:\New Folder"}
- Output :
1. FileLocations: The full path where the file/files are located is displayed.
Benefits
Not sure which subdirectory a certain file is present in? Just enter the filename and this process will give you the full path of the file as the output. Since the process searches all the sub-directories of the provided search path, the exact file location can be found out by just providing the drive names.
