I am trying to create an analysis that will show me the directory path of all files with a .crt file extension on a Windows server. Has anyone created something similar?

This should give you what your looking for. Be aware this type of analysis will take a while to complete.
(pathnames
of
files
whose
((name
of
it
ends with
“.crt”
))
of
(descendant folders
of
folder
“c:”
))

Perfect! I was on the right track. Thanks for clearing everything up.

pathnames of find files “*.txt” of (descendant folders of folder “c:”)
I wrote that line last night and tested it against your string. Mine runs through in about 49 seconds whereas your line takes about 127-129 seconds to run on my computer. I’m not sure if it is just a strange coincidence or that the processing of “find file” is that much faster.
As Matt stated before, these statements are VERY slow so take extreme caution about deploying this domain wide.

While both of these clauses work great there’s 1 flaw. This does not return results for files located on the C:\ root; only files inside the subdirectories. I know the clause to search just the C:\ root for certain file types, but I was hoping to get it all in 1 clause.
Thoughts?
