A filing system (10) is provided for locating a particular file contained in a file holder which contains a plurality of files (14). The apparatus includes a machine-readable code mounted on each of the files (18), a guide attached to each file holder (38), a scanner (20) for reading the codes on the files in a file holder, and an indicator (94) for indicating when the particular machine-readable code corresponding to the particular file is located. The apparatus uses an improved bar code in which character boundaries are eliminated and the number of ONE's and ZERO's in a code are variable, resulting in increased data density, and an inventive perpendicular file tab (16) which positions the bar code accurately for the scanner.
