Disk/CD/DVD Catalogue tool including search facility

Script Function:

A Disk/CD/DVD Catalogue tool including search facility

Scan - Indexes a Disk/CD/DVD to enable searching

includes a file mask

Allows Multiple Catalogues for the same drive

.bak & .tmp files are excluded. Edit the Func IndexDrive($drive,$catalogue) to change this.

Search - Searches existing Catalogues for a String

enables you to search only the filename or the full path

(setup.exe is not much use, but if you know what directory it is in it helps)

Selecting a file shows you what Catalogue it is in as well as what folder it is in

Use:

Use SINGLE Clicks to select items

Double Click to launche a selected file (including things like .txt,.mp3 files etc)

(for best results here always use the same drive for scanning you CD's)

The Include mask on the scan page follows autoit format. Multiple masks can be separated by a ;

e.g. *.avi;*.mpg;*.mp?g;*.swf

*.mpg;*.mp* will not duplicate .mpg file entries (a file will only be included once for a single directory)

*.jpg;*.jpeg will make sure you have all jpeg Files

ToDo :

Add an exclude mask to help the IndexDrive() function

Merge ???-index.index and ???-master.index

Include a Help --> About with some appropriate text/helpfile

Think about enabling the cataloging of a directory and its children rather than an entire drive.

Other:

Uses an updated _FileListToArray that accepts multiple file masks (re-named and included in this source.)

It could probably do with optimisation as it is a little slow indexing all files on a pretty full 80 GB drive

(works well on covermount CD's though)

Includes blatant plagiarism from various sources on the forums.

Do not download this file use the one in the next post!!!!

Now includes Keywords so you can add reasonable text to all those "setup.exe files"

Searching lets you include or exclude keywords/ directories

this means that OLD catalogues created with the version from the previous post, need to be re-generated or have 'indexfix.au3' run against them.

Good day,

Is there a reason that the code works with some Windows XP systems and not others? I'm new to AutoIt and testing your code on a Windows 2000 computer and a couple of Windows xps the code will run and create the files, but will not show up in the listbox. On my XP box that I used to compile the program runs fine, but on my sister's and friend's computers just blank listboxes?

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help...

Tony,

Not exactly sure, If it is only the list-boxes that are blank (you can still select drives etc), It would suggest that there are no catalogues. try checking the location of any catalogue files you have or run a 'SCAN' to create one for a CD/dvd (small and faster)
