Image File Search

That depends on how you'll search for them?

By whats in the image only? Or by name, date etc?

@athomsfere by name, because the dates will generally be the same..

By name, even windows search can help.

* as a wildcard.

So if all your images you want are named xxxxxxLilTommyBDayxxxxxxxxxxx  Where the Xs are random text, search for something like *LilTommy* and it will return any pictures with LilTommy in the name somewhere.

OK using the * would search for all *.extension or *.whatever trails the astericks.. but my problem isn't the fact that i want to just find images, I want to find only certain image names within a haystack of other images..

1) Let me try to be more specific.. I have over 2k images in a folder.
2) Within that folder are about 187 images that i need to find.
3) the image names aren't similar where i could search by the first part of the image name or last part.jpg.
4) the images are a mix of lower & upper case letters, numbers, underscores & even the (.) period are in some.
5) I have the list of image names that i want from that folder but i can only search the folder 1 image at a time from windows
6) I wanted to know if theirs a way or software that  i could drop all those image names into and the program would find the images that im looking for and then i could just copy them all at the same time from the folder giving me exactly what im looking for.

OK, a vbs script would work best, I will try to look at this a little later and build a script for it.

Basically you can open the list as a txt file for read, and copy that way for each.

ahhhh athomsfere, thanks for the effort, i appreciate it..

This should get us headin in the right direction.

Time constraints have delayed this, and so far I have not had a chance to test.
