  Thank you!

  What you can do is to do a search, right-click on any column heading (for example name, folder, etc.), and then click "Folder path" from the list that appears.  You can also click to turn off the folder.  The next time you're looking for in this area, this column of path of the folder should appear.  You can drag the columns in a different order also.

• Windows 7 can search for files containing a specific string that includes punctuation

  I have a documentation for a programming language which is in the form of html on my machine and search for files that contain the string "${1}".

  However if I type that in the search box windows instead seeks any file containing the string '1' in its content or its file name or a folder (which gives me 10240 results!)

  Research I try it is possible with a different syntax (escape the $ and brackets to indicate that they are part of the search maybe string)?

  Thank you

  Hi Mog,

  Because the question you posted is related to search for files containing a specific string, it would be better suited in the MSDN forum. Please post your question in the following MSDN forum:

• search for file names with tilde character

  trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.

  You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

• Search for files based on the flow

  Hi, I would like to be able to search for specific files mp3 and m4a files based on their bitrate, IE search for files with a bitrate to 128KBit.

  I don't know, but is it possible under Windows Vista, or do I need another tool to do?

  Thank you

  Hello trotskyicepick,

  Windows Search does not include a searchable property for the bitrate, but Windows Explorer can indicate the rate on view Mp3 files.  For example, you can sort and filter the search results by bit rate and group your files in this way.

  For example, if the files in question are in your folder of music and its subfolders, click music in the left pane of Windows Explorer.  Now paste this query into the search engine:

  ext:MP3

  Now, right-click on a column heading in the right pane and add the property of spleen in the view. Click the bitrate column header to sort the display rate.  Now click the drop down menu on the same header and choose "near CD quality' in the list.  This filter the search results so that only files recorded to 128 or more appear.

  Unfortunately, the Vista does not support the M4a format, so speeds of transmission of these files are not visible in Windows Explorer.

• Search for files by using the Start button

  I've lost the ability to search for files by using the Start button.  I can enter a file name, but always get a response "nothing found".  I know I did something back a couple of weeks, but don't know what I did to turn it off. Help!

  Thank you!

  Take a look at my search installation tips.  If you are in these settings, you can make sure search is enabled and if necessary you can use the 'reconstruction' of the for button to rebuild your search system.

• GetFirstFile and GetNextFile while searching for files

  In LabWindows 7.0 "C" I use a wild-card building to search for files in a folder called "PAT_DISKS" below as shown:

  strcpy (work, "c:\\DEVELOPMENT\\PAT_DISKS\\? MS? _DSK_PAT");
  is = GetFirstFile (work, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, name);
  is = GetNextFile (name);

  There are at least three folders corresponding to the criteria of 'PAT_DISKS', but "GetNextFile" are not.

  Is this a bug in LabWindows CVI 7.0?

  Thank you, your answer helped me to find the problem.   As usual, it's between the keyboard and the Chair.  Without realizing it, I was pointing to another folder that I created earlier for debugging purposes.  There was actually only a subfolder so "GetNextFile" function work properly.
