Have 1000 file names only, how to search or load in EFU?

Post by rjfrench69 »

Hi I have a list of about 1000 file names that I know exist on an indexed drive Y:\ that I would like to select and delete.

They all have between 5 and 6 'random' parent folders and I don't know the exact location, just the file names; is there any way to search for multiple files based on file name, or load an EFU?

For example I have this list:
FILENAME
file1
file2
file3

They exist in subfolders but not all the parents are consistent:
Y:\folder1\folder2\folder3\file1
Y:\folder4\folder5\folder6\file2
Y:\folder1\folder7\folder8\file3

Thanks!

Looks like I can do this with the OR Syntax:
file1|file2|file3

(Did a search replace on carriage returns and put in pipes in my text file list)
