Finding recursive files (again)

[JeroenMioch]

Hey guys,

Im trying to count certain files that meet my criteria recursively.
I have this function that does find files that way, but now they won't be found when my criteria is set.
I am pretty sure that the function DID find found files that met my criteria, however it seemed it stopped working for some reason.



So if i let the function look for files below the directory "Subdirectory" with a .pdf extension it will show howmany files there are.
But, when i do the same and try to look for files with the current date into it (example as shown below) , it returns empty.

I am struggeling with this badly, can someone please rescue me !

Public Function RecursiveDir(colfiles As Collection, _
                             strFolder As String, _
                             strFileSpec As String, _
                             bIncludeSubfolders As Boolean)


    Dim strTemp As String
    Dim colFolders As New Collection
    Dim vFolderName As Variant


    'Add files in strFolder matching strFileSpec to colFiles
    strFolder = TrailingSlash(strFolder)
    strTemp = Dir(strFolder & strFileSpec)
    Do While strTemp <> vbNullString
        colfiles.Add strFolder & strTemp
        strTemp = Dir
    Loop


    If bIncludeSubfolders Then
        'Fill colFolders with list of subdirectories of strFolder
        strTemp = Dir(strFolder, vbDirectory)
        Do While strTemp <> vbNullString
            If (strTemp <> ".") And (strTemp <> "..") Then
                If (GetAttr(strFolder & strTemp) And vbDirectory) <> 0 Then
                    colFolders.Add strTemp
                End If
            End If
            strTemp = Dir
        Loop


        'Call RecursiveDir for each subfolder in colFolders
        For Each vFolderName In colFolders
            Call RecursiveDir(colfiles, strFolder & vFolderName, strFileSpec, True)
        Next vFolderName
    End If


End Function




Public Function TrailingSlash(strFolder As String) As String
    If Len(strFolder) > 0 Then
        If Right(strFolder, 1) = "\" Then
            TrailingSlash = strFolder
        Else
            TrailingSlash = strFolder & "\"
        End If
    End If
End Function

Dim colfiles As New Collection


RecursiveDir colfiles, "I:\MyRootDIr\Subdirectory", "" & Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyy") & "*.pdf", True


Dim vFile As Variant


For Each vFile In colfiles
Next vFile
myControl = Colfiles.Count

It seems the code has problem with the date format.
When i search like this :

RecursiveDir colfiles, "I:\MyRootDIr\Subdirectory", "*mytekst*.pdf", True

It will find whatever is between the wildcards, am i dimensioning the date format wrong or ?

[JeroenMioch]

Never mind i found the problem. the date of the files was mm/d/yyyy and im searching for mm/dd/yyyy
What a difference a letter makes ... pfff
