How do I search a specific list of files?

Question

I have a list of files in a text file that I would like to search, e.g. my text file looks like this:

\\Server\Folder\Info.txt
\\Server2\Folder\Archive.txt
\\Server3\OtherFolder\Backup.txt

Is it possible to tell FileLocator Pro to search just the files in that list?

Answer 1

Yes, you can specify the list in the Look In field by prefixing the name with an equal sign, e.g.

Look In: =C:\LoadList.txt

FileLocator Pro will then load the text file and search each location specified in the list. Each location in the list can be either a specific file, as you require, or a folder.

You could also perform the search by concatenating the list into the Look In field, e.g.

Look In: \\Server\Folder\Info.txt;\\Server2\Folder\Archive.txt;\\Server3\OtherFolder\Backup.txt
