I'm not sure which one, if any, of the following tech notes gives you the information necessary. I think you need to read all of them, and then build a composit tech note yourself. Tech Note 68 Searching all directories on an HFS volume. Tech Note 69 Setting ioFDirIndex in PBGetCatInfo Calls Tech Note 107 Nulls in FileNames. Some of these tech notes might help. I've been wanting to do the same thing for a long time, but haven't had the time to wade thru the information. David M.
