Interface to search the contents of a folder

[dupati1]

Hi all,

I dont know whether it is the right place to ask this question or not. The below is my question:

I have a folder named AdvancedDirectives under the link:

\Inetpub\wwwroot\documents\AdvancedDirectives

It has thousands of documents. When i display this folder on the Intranet, all the contents of the folder are listed as shown below:

******************

\documents\AdvanceDirectives

To Parent Directory

and so on all the files are listed....

*****************************

This list has become a burdensome for the users to search for a particular document.

My question is - can i create an interface that takes the input from the user a file name and display the desired file, or takes the input as a string and display all the matched documents.

How can i create such an interface.

Any Suggestions.

Thanks in advance

.Net or ASP? Are you using the FileSystemObject?

I am using ASP.
I have never used FSO.

Thanks

IF you are not using FSO then how are you displaying the folder? Is it a direct link to a shared folder that allows directory browsing?
