Hi, is there a way to search for all files occurences like .pdf from let say c: \ .pdf and all the subdirectory below Also Is it possible to search for a string within multiples files. Let say all files containing the string " ABC " Thank you in advance

Hi ! this is little project to keep my mind up to speed. I have a sequential file wich have 16 records. Each record has 6 characters. I want to select the record randomly then write them in a random file. After that, i will choose randomly one character from the string and display it. I hope this clarify my request. Richard

Thank you very much, so how could i can i change it so that it pick up a number between 1 to 16 and then pas it to my input statement so that it read that specific number record. Richard

I do not understand why in the following short For Next program after 16, the program goes on and on and on. Any indicator would be appreciated: 10 CLE = 15 20 FOR I = 1 TO CLE +1 30 I =INT(RND*CLE) 40 PRINT I 50 NEXT In addition, is it possible to specify the line i want to input from a sequential file Thank you Richard

My understanding is it is under c:\users\admin
