FileBoolean - FullPath
Select all the directories that have a full path which matches the first
STRING, and in these selected directories and their subdirectories select all
the files that match the second STRING.
The strings may contain wildcard characters "*" (zero or more characters)
or "?" (a single character).
- Make sure that the directory mask also matches the drive letter. A directory
path looks like this: "c:\windows\System32". Note that there is no trailing
backslash, only the root folder (for example "c:\") has a backslash.
- The "*" (star) wildcard will also match the "\" (backslash) character, so it
span's directories.
- Files in subdirectories are also selected. For example, the
"FullPath("c:\Windows","*.exe")" command not only selects .exe files in the
"Windows" folder, but also in the "Windows\System32" folder, and all other
subfolders in the "Windows" folder.
- The function looks at all the hard link filenames of an item (an item may
have 2 or more names, totally different and even in different directories, but
all referring to the same data).
The logfile will show whatever name happens to be first, so it may appear as
if the function has selected some wrong items.
The function does not follow soft links.
