I am trying to find out how to search for a file. I am making a
switchboard program with buttons pointing to programs, but I want to
make it so that if the program a button points to ever moves, it will
automatically search the local hard drives for it.

I think what the op is asking for is like this.
Create a button and point it to a program ( using process.start ), but if
the file does not exist, he wants the code to pup up a dialog box and tell
the user that this file has not been found and ask if they should search the
disk for it. ( like when an icon points to a missing file )

Herfried,
I hate those Zip files, it tells notingin a message what it does.
I have seen you have as well pages which can be cut of, that is much better.
Just my opinion to let you know.
Cor
Terry,
I was in doubt for that, however after 5 times reading the message I thought
he wanted to have something for when the program moves (whatever that may
been and I was assuming a file).
I think that the OP started with something about searching and at the end
was telling something about a filewatcher.
I took the latest as what he wanted.

Its content does. And I guarantee that there are no viruses the ZIP
files provided on dotnet.mvps.org .

A year or two back I needed a search script to scan thru HTML files
on a client site. Usual sorta thing. A quick search turned up a
neat script that provided great search results. It was fast,
returned the hyperlinked page title, filename, and the body txt (30
preceding and following words) in context with the search word
highlighted. Excellent.!

I have a process where I'd like to search the contents of a file(in a dir)

the file into a giant string and searching it, but would rather focus on a

Found some interesting behavior in Windows Search (Start =Search =All
files and folders =search for "A word or phrase in the file:"). This
applies to XP and maybe other Windows flavors.
Procedure:
1. Create a simple text file named test.txt.
2. Open the text file in a text editor and add a simple test word such as
"blah" (not quotes).
