Has anyone put together an analysis to detect and report on mp3 data?

I would like to inventory mp3 files on servers.

I am having a problem with the path "exists file “c:…”

Trying to get a recursive search of the entire file system.

Checked previous posts could not find similar syntax.

Thanks,

Ben

Example

exists descendant whose (name of it = “*.MP3”) of root folders of drive “e:”

Will it honor the wildcard, case insensitive??

Radian,

There is way to write a statement that will honor the wildcard, case insensitive. Try:

names of find files “*.exe” of windows folder

Another way you might want to try:

names whose (it as lowercase ends with “.exe”) of files of windows folder

However I would be careful when using ‘descendant of root folders of drive’ because this query can take a really long time. I would suggest using it only for folders that don’t have a lot of descendants. For example I ran this query in my relevancedebugger:

q: exists descendant whose (name of it as lowercase ends with “.mp3”) of root folders of drive “c:”

A: True

T: 10547.125 ms

I: singular boolean

This query took over 10 seconds to evaluate in my relevance debugger. If you factor in that your BES client (unlike relevance debugger) is using only about 2% of CPU you can see how relevance query like this would be detrimental to your BES client.

You should avoid using “decendants of folder” in any property because it will periodically run and potentially cause too much disk resources or CPU.
