Whether I'm gone or not is irrelevant.
Now, if you simply didn't know about how to use $findfile properly, then someone would perhaps point this out more gently, but when you've been told this atleast 5 times by me, and no doubt probably by some others as well, then that just shows your unwillingness to listen and improve. This is not a personal attack, it's simply the truth. You know it, and I know it.
You are probably wondering why this matters? When you post code here, you should remember you are posting on public forums, where multiple people can see your code. Learning scripting involves a lot of seeing other people's code, and looking at how they get things done. I've used the
Search feature extensively when learning scripting, seeing how other scripters did things. However, if you set a bad example, some will follow you in that bad example, from which no one benefits at all, on the contrary.
Think about it, when you learn scripting, programming, or anything for that matter, would you prefer to see badly written examples, or well written examples?
