(The original post was encrypted--sorry about that)
I am trying to access files on a networked drive in Windows NT. The
networked drive is:
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared
Find file and file_search give different results:
IDL> print, findfile('\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\*'),
format='(a)'
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\.\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\..\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_Data\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_Data_Migration_Tool\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_FITS\
\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\Test_results\
IDL>
IDL> print, file_search('\\Cygnus\Raytheon_shared\Updated Test Files\*'),
format='(a)'
IDL>
I.e, file_search finds no files at all. If I map the networked drive
to a drive letter, e.g. G:, both routines give the same result.
What am I missing about file_search?

I think you should use FILE_SEARCH, since FINDFILE is
obsolete. And you are not concatenating strings properly.
You want something like this:
fname ='C:\Documents and Settings\Mahesh Varma\My Documents\osiris\'
files = FILE_SEARCH(fname + '*.hdf', COUNT=num)
FOR j=0,num-1 DO Print, files[j]
Cheers,
David
