Hi Is there any possibility that agent checks users hard drive, get a file and and send an email with that file(attached in email).
Please suggest some key points.
Thanks in advance.
Subject: …and another…
You don’t mention - are you looking for a specific file in a specific location? Or do you have to search the entire drive for a specific file?
A solution to get directories and files in LotusScript

Below is one solution to get all directories and files from a specified location, something many developers seem to struggle around (see technote #172128, in which the workaround Lotus gave was not satisfying either because I was still getting the “Illegal function call” error).
More specifically, the function gets files and directories from one location and copies them into another location by using arrays and recursion. Hence, be careful, whereever there is recursion, there might be possible memory problems if too many recursive calls are made.
It saves all the content of a directory into an array and then loops through that array.
If it finds a directory when looping through the array, the function recursively calls itself (with the new parameters including the directory found);
Else copies the files into the appropriate directory.
Any comments/suggestions/questions/remarks welcome!
Sub gCopyMultipleFiles(Byval vstrFromPath As String, Byval vstrToPath As String)
Dim astrFileList() As String
Dim strDirOrFile As String
Dim intCount As Integer, i As Integer
intCount=0
strDirOrFile$ = Dir$(vstrFromPath & "", ATTR_DIRECTORY)
While (strDirOrFile$ <> “”)
If Not(strDirOrFile$ = “.” Or strDirOrFile$ = “…”) Then ’ Do not save . and … directories (current and parent directories)
Redim Preserve astrFileList(intCount)
astrFileList(intCount) = strDirOrFile$
intCount = intCount + 1
End If
strDirOrFile$=Dir$()
Wend
If Not(gintDirectoryExists(vstrToPath & "")) Then ’ If it is a new directory, create it
Mkdir vstrToPath
End If
For i = 0 To intCount-1
strDirOrFile$ = astrFileList(i)
If gintDirectoryExists(vstrFromPath & "" & strDirOrFile$ & "") Then
’ We have a sub-directory, go into that sub-directory by calling gCopyMultipleFiles with parameters including the new directory
gCopyMultipleFiles vstrFromPath & "" & strDirOrFile$, vstrToPath & "" & strDirOrFile$
Else
’ We have a file, copy it into current directory
gCopyFile vstrFromPath & "" & strDirOrFile$, vstrToPath & "" & strDirOrFile$, True
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub gCopyFile(Byval vstrFromFilePath As String, Byval vstrToFilePath As String)
’ Copies a file from one location to the other. For additional security, you can check if the source file exists
’ at the source and destination, if you can overwrite it etc.
On Error Resume Next
Filecopy vstrFromFilePath, vstrToFilePath ’ Copy the source to the destination, the calling routine should handle error
If Err Then
Error Err, strErrorPrefix & Cstr(Error)
Exit Sub
End If
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
Public Function gintDirectoryExists(Byval vstrDirectoryPath) As Integer
’ Checks whether a directory exists, returns true or false
Dim strDirectoryFound As String
gintDirectoryExists=False
On Error Resume Next
strDirectoryFound = Dir$(vstrDirectoryPath, ATTR_DIRECTORY)
If Err Then
Err=0
Exit Function
End If
On Error Goto 0
If strDirectoryFound <> “” Then
gintDirectoryExists=True
End If
End Function
Subject: agent that finds file on the users hard drive and send an email
Yes - almost anything is possible with Notes/Domino
There are plenty of samples of sending emails in the forums, so if you’re not familiar with sending email a quick search should get you going.
Searching folders recursively can also be done, I did some work on this years ago, but do not have that with me. I started with some information i found in this thread:
with this search:

Here’s another thing that i found way back then that helped me:
