search for multiple folders

[MightyWeird]

Hi,

I am trying to understand how to pass the direcory names ($searchfordir1)  to the function. (_isinstalled)

Now it just loops over and over and crashes. (I think)

It needs to look for specific folders and tell me if it is there or not.

 

 

 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>



Const $SearchFordir1 = @ProgramFilesDir & "aaaa"
Const $SearchFordir2 = @ProgramFilesDir & "bbbb"


_IsInstalled($SearchFordir1)
_IsInstalled($SearchFordir2)

Func _IsInstalled($DisplaydirName)
    Local $i = 1

_IsInstalled($DisplaydirName)



    $iFileExists = FileExists($DisplaydirName)

    If $iFileExists Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file exists." & @CRLF & "FileExist returned: " & $iFileExists)
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file doesn't exist." & @CRLF & "FileExist returned: " & $iFileExists)
    EndIf

EndFunc

MightyWeird,

The @...Dir macros do not have a trailing backslash so you have to add it. And you are calling the function from within itself - this is known as recursion and usually leads to tears, see the Recursion tutorial in the Wiki to understand what is going on.

This works for me:

Const $SearchFordir1 = @ProgramFilesDir & "\aaaa"
Const $SearchFordir2 = @ProgramFilesDir & "\bbbb"

_IsInstalled($SearchFordir1)
_IsInstalled($SearchFordir2)

Func _IsInstalled($DisplaydirName)

    $iFileExists = FileExists($DisplaydirName)

    If $iFileExists Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file exists." & @CRLF & "FileExist returned: " & $iFileExists)
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The file doesn't exist." & @CRLF & "FileExist returned: " & $iFileExists)
    EndIf

EndFunc
