ASP File Finder
Did you ever want to search for files using your web browser instead of the MS Find Files program? This ASP file searches your hard drive (or web server) for files containing a given string. You can specify a string to search for and the directory to search in (or leave the default c: directory).
Original Author: Blowno
Inputs
SearchText = The file containing the text you are searching for.
Directory = The Directory (and it's subdirectories) to search (default is c:)
Assumptions
I realize this app is much slower than the MS Find Files program, but it is web enabled and will not return files that do not contain the search text like the MS program does.
Returns
A list of files on your hard drive (or web server) matching the string you searched for.
Side Affects
On slow machines - This script may time out if you search the full directory. Note: On my 1GHz machine it can take up to 2 minutes to search the entire 34GB hard drive (I set the script timeout to 5 minutes).
API Declarations
NOTE: The code that traverses the folders was lifted from another app from the PSC site so I am not posting this for purposes of obtaining votes, but just for informational purposes.
