This script provides a quick and simple alternative to browsing for a file to send. Just type in the drive letter, part of the file name and the extension and it will search the any matches. You can then easily send the file to a contact. It even supports searching through subfolders automatically (Although this may be made into an option)

By design, it only works with removeable media such as memory sticks or mobile phones. It will not work with hard drives or CD drives until I can bothered to write code to stop it searching EVERYWHERE, thus lagging stuff up

Usage:
/ez <drive letter> <file name>.<extension>
(an * can be used as a wildcard for either the filename or extension similar to windows on search facility)

!!! I see a lot of furute for this script... well done mate... I will try it and let you know how it worked !!!

Looks interesting, but where's the download?

Duh dead it's on his PC, silly

By release he obviously doesn't mean the script, just some air from his mouth or the screenshot or something....

Nice slip up though SLM

Looks nice, but I wouldn't use it if it doesn't allow hard drives

code:

---

var dir = "c:/downloads/";
var db = new ActiveXObject('ADODB.Connection');
db.open("Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties='Application=Windows';");

var results = db.Execute("SELECT System.ItemPathDisplay FROM SystemIndex WHERE SCOPE='file:" + dir + "'");

//loop over and debug.trace each item

while(!results.EOF){
    Debug.Trace(results.Fields.item('System.ItemPathDisplay'));
    results.MoveNext();
}

Whoops... Updated

awesome, can't wait to try it out.

great idea saves ALOT of time!

Working on an update. I've added special folder names so rather than just using drive letters, you can use desktop, documents, favorites (and favourites ), programs and recent. I'll hopefully soon add received as well for WLM Received Files folder. I'm also working on an option that sending shorcut lnk files actually send the file it points to instead.

Thanks for the support
