Most common cause is forgetting to avoid the "." and ".." entries (self and parent).

Not in this case though

It could be a memory leak.

Try adding "$shell=0" just before the function exit.

richard, I was thinking about running out of memory...
this function is quite memory expensive on large drives...

Try this:
Code:
Break ON

$=SetOption("WrapAtEOL","ON")

Global $iRecursiveDepth
Global $oShell

$oShell=createobject("shell.application")

drivescan("\\CLIENTPC\c$")
"Done." ?

Function drivescan($sPath)
Dim $oItem

For Each $oItem in $oShell.namespace($sPath).items
If $oItem.isfolder
$iRecursiveDepth=$iRecursiveDepth+1
"New recursion <"+$iRecursiveDepth+"> "+$oItem.path ?
drivescan($oItem.path)
$iRecursiveDepth=$iRecursiveDepth-1
EndIf
Next
Exit 0
EndFunction

you don't need it.
try running script and see does it crash.

if it does, tell us what is the last line on console.
if it doesn't, we (richard) will rethink.

The script is a "debug" version, to try and get a handle on how and why you are getting the exception.

You need to ensure it runs through to completion before you start to worry about adding other features.

Something like this will do you however:
Code:
Break ON
$=SetOption("WrapAtEOL","ON")

Global $iRecursiveDepth
Global $oShell

$oShell=createobject("shell.application")

drivescan("\\SGB007968\c$")
"Done." ?

Function drivescan($sPath)
Dim $oItem

For Each $oItem in $oShell.namespace($sPath).items
If $oItem.isfolder
$iRecursiveDepth=$iRecursiveDepth+1
"New recusion <"+$iRecursiveDepth+"> "+$oItem.path ?
drivescan($oItem.path)
$iRecursiveDepth=$iRecursiveDepth-1
Else
If 2799<$oItem.size AND 2901>$oItem.size
"*** File match "+$oItem.size+" "+$oItem.path ?
EndIf
EndIf
Next
Exit 0
EndFunction

Holy Cow!

Well, you've got a loop in there alright. The recursion level should be about 10 for that directory path depth!

Perhaps you are picking up a shortcut to a directory or share name which refers back to a higher level directory. You will need to redirect the output to a file or something, and spot when it goes haywire.

Basically, the recursion depth should be the same as the directory depth below your start directory.

ok i think i've sorted out that problem

it had found a "nethood" directory with loads of shortcuts in

for a quick fix i removed this directory (it was nothing important)

now to see what happens next

thanks for all the help so far !!

ok i've found the problem

how can i get it so if the script finds a folder called "NetHood" it doesn't go down and look in this folder?

Simplest is probably to change this line:
Code:
If $oItem.isfolder



to read:
Code:
If $oItem.isfolder AND Not InStr($oItem.path,"Nethood")



NB, if shortcuts are the problem you may well find them in other folders, so you may want to consider finding a smarter method.
