$search = FileFindFirstFile("*.*")  

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
    If @error Then ExitLoop

you could use DOS

$r = _RunDOS("dir C:\ /b /s | find "*insert file name here*" >> C:\List.txt")
While 1
$x = FileReadLine("C:\List.txt")
MsgBox(0,"Found:",$x)
WEnd

i think thats right syntax not sure thou

..or you could use:

$x = _FileCountLines("C:\List.txt")
For 1 To $x
$z = FileReadLine("C:\List.txt",$x)
Next

In case you haven't had much luck, w0uter has written a function that will do what you describe. You'll need the beta if you don't have it already.
