I’d second that. I just tried it in the command line on a folder with 5,144 (nested) files and with almost 1,400 results the response was near instant.
So, I tried this in 15.4 and Mac 10.12.5. Basically stripping the convert path stuff because I was passing in the full path and those commands messed it up. Also, unquoted the file name. But then point is, it was instant. //Method: SysDoc_Find C_TEXT($searchFor;$1;$searchIn;$2;$pathFound;$0) $searchFor:=$1 $searchIn:=$2 //$searchIn:=Convert path system to POSIX($searchIn) $_txt_OSASCRIPT:="mdfind -onlyin "+$searchIn+" -name "+$searchFor $_t_InputStream:="" $_t_OutputStream:="" LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($_txt_OSASCRIPT;$_t_InputStream;$pathFound) //If ($pathFound#"") //$pathFound:=Replace string(Convert path POSIX to system($pathFound);"\n";””) // //Note: This is the code I ran for my tests. It is not complete as LEP is actually returning a list of paths to all the documents found with the same name. // //For my test I knew that there would only be one path found so I eliminated anything unnecessary // //My SysDoc_Find method actually converts pathFound to a process array, and returns the first element in the array. The caller can then either use the returned path or the array. // //Also, be aware that $pathFound ends with a \n. So the last element of the array may need to be deleted. My text to array method returns an empty last element. //End if $0:=$pathFound > On May 16, 2017, at 12:32 PM, Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Which version of 4D are you using?
