Nice problem! I wrote a function that recursively looks for the file. It makes use of python's os module.

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile
def Find_File( Parent_Folder ):
   for File in listdir(Parent_Folder):
     File = Parent_Folder + '\\' + File
      if isfile(File):
         return File
      else: # if it is a folder
         Search_Result = Find_File(File)
         if Search_Result != None:
            return Search_Result
print Find_File("C:\\Memory Card")

The function

1

listdir(Parent_Foler)

returns a list of all things in a folder(files and folders).

The function

1

isfile(file)

checks if a given thing is either a file or a directory.

The function

1

Find_File(Parent_Folder) 

is pretty straight forward,it first checks if the file is in the Parent_Folder. If it is not ,then it recursively checks each sub-directory and returns the path of the file once it is found.

I just used windows search :D

My Python solution

from os import listdir
from string import ascii_uppercase

chars = list(ascii_uppercase)

found = False

for a in chars:
    for b in chars:
        if len(listdir(a + '\\' + b)) != 0:
            found = True
        if found:
            f = open(a + '\\' + b + '\\' + listdir(a + '\\' + b)[0])
            [print(line) for line in f.readlines()]
            break
    if found:
        break

This is simple. I just extracted the file and sorted by size. I got L with 102 b and S with 102 b. XD

Just used windows search with . query.

I used cmd. :( Sort of a cheat.. but still This is the command that will help dir /s /b /o:gn

PS: How do we write the code in a block like in the other comment?

I used windows search with the search criteria being " . " since, it is a file with data, it should come up in the search.

am i the only one who went straight to initials? first i tried A.P. and then L.S.

WinZip sorted the folders and subfolders for me, based on the amount of information inside the folders. LS came up first for me.

I just used the windows search with search string ".txt". txt was a plain guess :D
