I'm looking for a small size powershell script or program that searches Windows computers for particular files. Requirements are: 1) reads file names from a .txt file and searches for them 2) searches are not case sensitive 3) needs to have some form to allow the user running it to exclude directories. For example, if I wanted to exclude C:/windows directory. Perhaps another text file with listed exclusion directories 4) needs to print or display a log of root directories that were searched and file it was looking for. And if the file is found, displays the *full* path to the file. File results should be grouped together in the log to easily see what was found. 5) program or script needs to be easily mobile. E.g. Small file size, not require any dependant programs to be installed. 6) searches other local drives, but not mapped network drives.

Hi, I can build a tool in vb.net to search files included in .txt file and show found full path files in a window and save search result into .txt file. Also you can add a second .txt with excluded folders.

Hi, I have over five years experience in automating windows tasks with Powershell. I can do this job. I'll create a small Powershell script that does the job. What version of Windows will this script be running on? Are you planning to run this script remotely?

I can provide you an exe for easy portability (written in python). NO INSTALLATION REQUIRED. I can add in a nice GUI for $10 so no need to bother about running it in command line Powershell is also doable but that'll add $15 more Software developer by profession having 4+ years of experience in C, C++, Python and other scripting languages for automation. I have worked on RESTful APIs as well. I would love to take up this project and definitely finish up in quick time with your satisfaction. Looking forward to working on this one. Please send me a message.

I am using powershell on a daily basis and I can help you with this. One question I have iss if this script is only intended to run locally. The rest is pretty clear. The text file for exclusions sounds good :)
