There are many ways to implement this, based on how you want to
"find" and what you want returned, but here is one example using
fileXtra3.
Dunno if this is technically "recursive"?
But it will walk the complete tree below the given path.
on findFiles aPath, aStr
tSep = the last char of the moviePath
if the last char of aPath <> tSep then
aPath = aPath & tSep
end if
tSeekStr = aStr.string
tFx = xtra("filextra3").new()
tSeekList = [aPath]
tFoundList = []
repeat while tSeekList.count
tSubPath = tSeekList[1]
tSeekList.deleteAt(1)
tThingList = tFx.fx_FolderToList(tSubPath)
repeat with tThing in tThingList
tSubThing = tSubPath & tThing
if the last char of tThing = tSep then
tSeekList.append(tSubThing)
else
if tThing contains tSeekStr then
tFoundList.append(tSubThing)
end if
end if
end repeat
end repeat
return tFoundList
end
