Hello all,
Hope this is the correct group for this question.
I couldn't find a vb beginners group.
I am getting overwhelmed and need some help.
I did this very easily in a batch file (only three lines), but DOS is too
limited and the use of the batch is presenting other problems (file is
compressed so I get garbage characters in the output file which I can't
edit).
I also wanted some other functionality added and decided to try VB6.
Problem - (Totally lost and frustrated)
How do I search all files with a given extension (ex. *.zip) for text inside
those files and output those lines (strings) to a text file?
I need to be able to use wildcards, so from what I read the use of the File
System Object is not going to help me.
The files are compressed (don't know if that matters).
The text lines (strings) in the files I am looking for would be something
like *.bspPK(trailing garbage characters)
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
