The options presented on that thread have done the job.

I know I could have just Googled that myself, but was keen to see if Fileseek could perform the operation.

Cheers,

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/using-fileseek-to-find-folders-missing-a-certain-file/?ID=6dee0541-7593-4be8-86ce-5e15a0e7230b#3 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 15:02:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/using-fileseek-to-find-folders-missing-a-certain-file/?ID=6dee0541-7593-4be8-86ce-5e15a0e7230b#3 FileSeek That would be great, Keith, and much appreciated. Please don't spend a lot of time on it, though !

Many thanks,

I'd be happy to do up an example if you're not sure where to start with that ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/using-fileseek-to-find-folders-missing-a-certain-file/?ID=6dee0541-7593-4be8-86ce-5e15a0e7230b Wed, 17 Aug 2016 09:49:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/using-fileseek-to-find-folders-missing-a-certain-file/?ID=6dee0541-7593-4be8-86ce-5e15a0e7230b FileSeek I've looked through the help, but I can't work out if I can use FileSeek for this task.

I want to search through a whole tree of folders and get FileSeek to show me all the folders that don't have a file called folder.jpg in them ?

Is this possible ?

Thanks,

Nigel ]]>
