Each tool of the Norton Utilities has context-sensitive help,
available at a touch of the ^BF1^B key.

Whenever you are using a dialog box and you want instructions
on how to proceed, press ^BF1^B. When you've got a menu pulled
down, you can move the highlight to any item and press ^BF1^B for
help on that item.

When you are first getting familiar with a tool, you will
find it helpful to select the ^b[Index]^b button at the bottom
of any help screen. It displays a list of topics, at least
one of which provides background and introductory material.

^hHyperlinks^h are highlighted phrases in a help topic that 
transfer you to another topic. Select the ^b[Go To]^b button
(just press ^bG^b) or double-click the hyperlink text. Select
the ^b[Go Back]^b button (just press ^bB^b) to return to the
original topic. When ^hmore than one hyperlink^h is on a screen,

2File Find is a powerful, high-level tool that solves the problem
of locating a file that has been misplaced somewhere among
multiple drives and bottomless directories.

But it goes way beyond that. It can search for files not only
by name, but by ^bcontents^b. If you forgot the name, but
remember a key phrase, File Find will locate your file. You can
even search for text or Hex values and replace it with
something else wherever found. Furthermore, you can limit the
search by criteria such as a range of dates or a file size or
file attributes.

File Find lets you ^bset or clear file attributes^b of a file or
group of files, and it also lets you ^bset the time and date^b
of the file(s).

It is also a ^bfile browser^b. You can look through found files
while File Find continues to search for more matches. Finally,
File Find provides a ^bflexible list printing service^b, including
a feature that lets you ^bcreate a batch file^b that runs a DOS
command for each file found.

And when you have located the specific file you needed so
desperately, File Find can helpfully set you into its directory
when you exit.
^b──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^b
^bInteractive vs. Batch Operation^b

Right now you're using File Find's full-screen interactive
mode, but there are times you may wish to run File Find without
needing user interaction. To force File Find to do its task
and then exit to DOS, use the ^b/BATCH^b command-line option.

For instance, if you wish to hide a file from prying eyes,
you can set its file attribute to Hidden as follows:

  ^bFILEFIND C:\WP\LTRS\MYSECRET.LTR /HID+ /BATCH^b

and now the DIR command won't list the file. The /BATCH
option made File Find work without user interaction.

To quickly find out if a set of files will fit on a floppy disk,
you could write a batch file something like:

  ^bREM Check if files in this directory              ^b
  ^bREM will fit on drive A:                          ^b
  ^bIF .%1.==..     FILEFIND *.* /C /TARGET:A: /BATCH ^b
  ^bIF NOT .%1.==.. FILEFIND %1  /C /TARGET:A: /BATCH ^b

See ^hCommand-line Syntax^h for information on using non-standard
wildcards.
.3'*
	?R
Use ^bTab^b to move among the control groups. Press ^bEnter^b at
any time to activate the default command button (initially,
the [Find] command button). Press ^bEsc^b to pause the action
or to exit from File Find. Press ^bAlt^b and the initial ^bL^better
of a menu to drop it down.

^bFile Name:^b
  Enter the filename you want to locate. If you're not certain
  of the exact name, use the ^b*^b and ^b?^b wildcard characters;
  for instance, to find a letter to either Jack or John, try
  ^bj*.ltr^b. Use ^b*.*^b for all files.

^bContaining:^b
  If you want to locate text in a file, type a partial word or
  short phrase (or any fragment of text) that you know to be
  contained in the misplaced file. It's best to keep it short
  and avoid word breaks (word processors may insert a "soft
  return" between words). If you're just looking for filenames,
  leave this blank.

^b[ ] Replace with:^b
  If you've entered text in the Containing: text box, you can
  choose to replace it with other text. Check this, then enter
  the replacement text. You'll be prompted to confirm any
  replacement. As a safety precaution, check ^hMake Backup Files^h
  on the Search menu.

^bTip:^b If you want to search by Hex values, use the ^hHex Strings^h
     command on the Search menu.

^b( ) Entire disk^b
^b( ) Current directory and below  ^b
^b( ) Current directory only       ^b
  Press ^bSpacebar^b to select the desired option button and
  specify where to search. By default, File Find searches all
  of the current drive. If you select either of the Current
  directory options, look to the bottom of the dialog box to
  see which directory is current. Press ^bAlt^b+^bS^b,^bR^b to choose
  ^hDirectory...^h from the File menu and change directories.

  If you want to search more than one drive, press ^bAlt^b+^bS^b,^bS^b to
  activate the ^hSearch Drives^h dialog. You can also use ^b*:^b in
  front of the File Name to specify "All drives" (for example,
  ^b*:j*.ltr^b).

^b[ ] Ignore case^b
  This is available only if you are searching for text. Leave it
  checked (so that "profits" will also find files containing
  "Profits" and "PROFITS").

^b[Find]^b
  After you've specified the search criteria, this begins the
  search. The filenames for all matching files are displayed in
  the list box.

^b[View]^b
  Select this to view the highlighted file in the list box.

^bTip:^b To browse files as the search continues, press ^bTab^b
     to get into the file list and move the highlight to one of
     the filenames. The focus changes to the ^b[View]^b button
     so you can press ^bEnter^b to browse the file's contents
     (see the ^hUsing the File Viewer^h help topic).

^b[Replace]^b
  The [View] button changes to [Replace] if you've checked
  ^bReplace with^b. This takes you to the Replace Viewer so you
  can confirm the actual replace operation.

^b[Go To]^b
  Select this to exit File Find and change to the directory
  containing the highlighted file in the list box.

When the cursor bar is inside the file list box, use ^b^C18^b ^b^C19^b
^bPgUp^b ^bPgDn^b ^bHome^b ^bEnd^b to move the highlight and scroll the list.

^b──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^b
^bLimiting the Scope: Advanced Options^b

Before starting a search-by-contents, you may wish to narrow
down the number of files to be read and searched. Press ^bF4^b or
choose ^hAdvanced Search...^h from the Search menu.

This lets you eliminate files outside of a specified date
range, or files which are too small or large to be the one you
want (it's especially wise to limit searching large files). 
You can also limit the search by file attribute (for instance,
you can skip over all files that have ever been backed up).
	This menu command lets you pick a different drive to search.

Just press the letter of the drive ID, or use ^b^C18^b and ^b^C19^b to
highlight the desired drive and then press ^bEnter^b.

If you want to search two or more drives one after another,
choose ^hSearch Drives...^h from the Search menu.

^bNote:^b Any drive ID in the ^bFile Name^b text box of the main
      screen (including the ^b*:^b wildcard) will also be
      searched.
	This menu command lets you pick a different drive and directory
to search.

^bNote:^b This dialog actually changes your DOS default drive
      and directory and your selections here will be in
      effect when you exit File Find.

You can edit the Path: text box directly and press ^bEnter^b.

Or, use ^bTab^b to move into the Subdirectories list, select
a subdirectory and press ^bEnter^b (this sets the directory
without leaving the dialog). Move to the ^b[OK]^b button and
press ^bEnter^b when done.

To change drives, ^bTab^b to Drive:, press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop down
the list, and select a drive.

If you want to search two or more drives one after another,
choose ^hSearch Drives...^h from the Search menu.

^bNote:^b Any drive ID in the ^bFile Name^b text box of the main
      screen (including the ^b*:^b wildcard) will also be
      searched.

  Choose this command to quit File Find, or just press ^bEsc^b.
This menu command lets you pick which drives to search.

Press ^bSpacebar^b to select one of the options.

To select a combination of drives, ^bTab^b to the drive checkboxes
and press ^bSpacebar^b to check the desired drives.

Select [Save] if you want the drive selections to be permanent,
or [OK] if you just want to use them for the current session.

^bNote:^b You can automatically select "All drives" by using a
      file specification that starts with ^b*:^b either at the
      DOS command line or in the ^bFile Name^b text box in the
      main screen.

11F-
This dialog lets you be extra selective about which files are
included in a File Find search. It is especially important
when searching for text since you want to open, read, and
search as few large files as possible. It also makes it
possible to round up all files of a certain age, size, or
with a certain file attribute.

Press ^bTab^b to move from field to field; press ^bSpacebar^b to
toggle a checkbox; press ^bEnter^b when satisfied. The criteria
selected are used the next time you start a search. The
File Find main screen shows ^bAdvanced Search... ON^b to remind
you that you are filtering the files.

^bDate is after:^b
  Input a file date and (optionally) time formatted as:

      ^bmm^b-^bdd^b-^byy^b [^bhh^b:^bmm^b] [AM | PM]]

  For instance, 5-10-90 or 15-1-89 7:0 am. Only files which
  have been modified after that date and time will be included
  in the search.

^bDate is before:^b
  Only files which were last modified before the input date and
  time will be included in the search.

^bSize is greater than/less than:^b
  Input a range of sizes. You can use ^bK^b or ^bM^b at the end; for
  instance, ^b2000^b is about the same as ^b2K^b.

^bOwner is:^b
  Input the file owner name (this is used on searching network
  drives only).

^bFind as:^b
  Press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop down the list and choose. ^bAny match^b
  finds all occurrences of the search text (such as "man" in
  Symantec), ^bFull word^b only finds "man," ^bPrefix^b finds
  "manna," and ^bSuffix^b finds "chairman." 

^b[ ] File attributes^b
  The Attribute checkboxes let you include only files with a
  specific combination of file attributes. For instance, check 
  ^bArchive bit is set^b if the file you want has been created or
  modified since you last backed up.

  The ^bInclude Directories^b option places directory names into the
  file list. You can change their date or time with ^hSet Date/Time^h
  on the Commands menu or hidden attribute with ^hSet Attributes^h,
  also on the Commands menu. 

^b──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^b
^bAdvanced Search Tips^b

At spring cleaning time, it's handy to use a global filespec
such as ^b*:*.*^b and use Advanced Search options to locate large
files (you may want to delete some of them).

Use a global filespec to flush out all hidden files.

Use the date-range options to find old versions of documents,
program source code files, etc.

Set ^bSize is less than^b to 1 to look for those pesky 0-length
files.

Once you have collected a set of files, you can change their
file attributes or their time and date within File Find. But
the real power-feature is that you can create a batch file to
perform some needed task for each file. See ^hCreate Batch...^h
on the List menu for more information.

(
This dialog lets you sort the list of found files and decide
how much information you want displayed in the list.

Press ^bTab^b to move between groups of controls; press ^bSpacebar^b
to select an option button; press ^bEnter^b when satisfied.

These settings are used in the file list display and when the
list is printed with the ^hPrint List^h or ^hCreate Batch^h commands on 
the List menu.

^bNote:^b All sorting options apply only to files within their
      own directory.
 This dialog sets print options and prints the currently-
displayed list. The output can go to your standard printer or
to a file or device of your choice.

To send the list to a file, be sure to select the ^b(^C07) File^b
button. Then press ^bTab^b and type in the name of the file.

Select one of the formatting options by pressing ^bSpacebar^b at
the desired option button.

^bNote^b: Before printing, you may wish to sort the list by
      selecting options in the ^hSet List Display^h dialog
      (^bAlt^b+^bL^b,^bS^b).

This feature is valuable in disk management operations and
it's a great tool for programmers. It generates a batch file
that will perform some selected operation on every file
currently in the file list.

For instance, if your file list was generated from the filespec
^b*:*.bak^b, and you used the ^hAdvanced Search...^h to limit the
list to files over one month old, you might want to delete the
whole lot:

 1 In ^bSave the list to^b, type a batch filename: DELBAK.BAT for
   example.
 2 In ^bText before filenames^b, type a DOS command: DEL for example.
 3 Leave ^bText after^b empty.
 4 In ^bText before directory lines^b, type @REM (so DOS ignores
   these).

Press ^bEnter^b to generate the batch file. Exit File Find and run
the batch file named DELBAK to delete all the dead wood.

Here are some ideas and suggestions for using this feature:

  ^C10 Programmers: Search all source files of a project for a
    function call or variable name which you need to change. 
    Generate a batch file to edit each of these files.

  ^C10 To perform more than one operation on each member of the
    list, you can use ^bCALL subbatch^b as the ^bText before^b. Or,
    generate the list twice, but on the second pass, select
    ^b[Append]^b when asked if you want to overwrite the file. 
    For instance, backup the file on the first pass and delete
    the original on the second.

  ^C10 The ^bText after^b field can be used in COPY, BACKUP, XCOPY,
    and RENAME operations and anytime an additional parameter
    would be useful. For instance:

     ^bBefore^b      ^bAfter^b     Example Output
     ─────────── ───────── ───────────────────────────────────
     XCOPY       D: /S     ^bXCOPY^b C:\WP\LTRS\jones.ltr ^bD: /S^b
     BACKUP      A: /A     ^bBACKUP^b C:\WP\LTRS\jones.ltr ^bA: /A^b
     REN         *.OLD     ^bRENAME^b C:\WP\LTRS\jones.ltr ^b*.OLD^b
     EDIT        /43/NOSNO ^bEDIT^b C:\QC\NU\FF\ffmain.c ^b/43/NOSNO^b

!
In this dialog, you can change the file attributes for the
currently-selected file or all files in the list.

Use ^b ^b to move from option to option and press ^bSpacebar^b to
toggle the settings. Press ^bEnter^b to go ahead and change the
selected attributes or press ^bEsc^b to cancel.

^bSet Attributes^b
  Press ^bSpacebar^b to choose the currently-selected file or all
  files in the list.

^bAttribute Checkboxes^b
  These checkboxes have three states. Press ^bSpacebar^b to cycle
  through them. When unchecked, the attribute will be cleared.
  When checked, the attribute will be set. When solid, the
  attribute is left unchanged, whatever its state.

  ^bArchive^b: when SET, this indicates that the file has NOT been
   backed up (and thus, will be "tagged" for inclusion in an
   XCOPY /M or BACKUP /M operation).

  ^bRead Only^b: when SET, the file cannot be modified or deleted.
   This is a simple safety device to keep yourself or others
   from changing "frozen" program source code files, word
   processor style sheets, and so forth.

  ^bHidden^b: when SET, DOS will not list the file with the DIR
   command nor find it in a wildcard COPY, etc.

  ^bSystem^b: used by the two system files, MSDOS.SYS and IO.SYS.

^bTip:^b To hide a directory name, select "Include directories"
     from the ^hAdvanced Search...^h in the Search menu. This way,
     you can select it as a "file" in the main screen and change
     its attributes here.
In this dialog, you can set the file creation date and time
for the currently-selected file or all files in the list.

This feature is handy for programmers who depend on the
timestamp of a set of files when using a "MAKE" utility to
build a project. It also lets developers finalize a project
with a uniform timestamp before files are copied to a
distribution disk.

To change only the currently-selected file, be sure to choose
the topmost option button.

The current date and time are filled in the text fields as the
defaults. Select either or both checkboxes to use these
values, or move into the input fields and enter new values. 
Press ^bEnter^b to go ahead and make the change.
	

This command adds up the sizes of all files in the file list.
Then, taking cluster size and slack-space into consideration,
it checks to see if all of these files will fit in the free
space on a target drive. 

Use ^b^C18^b and ^b^C19^b to pick a drive to check and press ^bEnter^b (or just
press the letter of the drive ID).

^bTip:^b Use ^hCreate Batch...^h to generate a batch file which
     will copy the files to the target.
		This menu command is available while you are browsing a file's
contents and only when a search string exists in the ^bContaining^b
text box of the main screen.

Select this menu command (or press ^bF5^b) to search backwards
from the current viewer position, looking for the current
search string.

See the ^hUsing the File Viewer^h for more information.
		This menu command is available while you are browsing a file's
contents and only when a search string exists in the ^bContaining^b
text box of the main screen.

Select this menu command (or press ^bF6^b) to search forward from
the current viewer position, looking for the current search
string.

See the ^hUsing the File Viewer^h for more information.
	This menu command is available while you are in the file
viewer, browsing a file's contents.

Select this menu command (or press ^bF7^b) to close the current
file and display the file listed directly before it in the
file list.

Select this menu command (or press ^bF8^b) to close the current
file and display the file listed directly after it in the file
list.

See the ^hUsing the File Viewer^h for more information.
After a search has started and at least one file has been found,
you can press ^bTab^b a couple of times to move into the file list.
Use ^b^b and ^b^b to highlight a filename, then press ^bEnter^b to browse
the file. The search will continue in the background as you
browse.

If you are using the text-search feature (that is, if there is
any text in the ^bContaining^b text box of the main screen), the
viewer automatically scrolls to the position of the first
match and displays the match in a ^bbold^b color.

While in the viewer, use the following keys to navigate:

   ^b^C18^b ^b^C19^b ^bPgUp^b ^bPgDn^b       to scroll vertically

   ^b^C1b^b ^b^C1a^b ^bCtrl^b+^b^C1b^b ^bCtrl^b+^b^C1a^b   to scroll horizontally

   ^bHome^b ^bEnd^b            to go to the top/bottom of the file

   ^bF5^b ^bF6^b search backward/forward for match (text-search only)

   ^bF7^b ^bF8^b display the previous/next file in the file list
         (first match is highlghted, if a text search)

   ^bEsc^b   leave the viewer and return to the main screen
After File Find locates the search text, the [View] button
changes to [Replace]. Select [Replace] to enter the Replace
Viewer for the highlighted file in the list. The viewer
automatically scrolls to the position of the first match
and displays the match in a ^bbold^b color.

The first group of command buttons let you confirm the text
replacements, one at a time.

  ^b[No Change]^b  Does not replace highlighted text, jumps to next
               occurrence.
  ^b[Replace]^b    Replaces highlighted text.
  ^b[Next File]^b  Switches to first occurrence in next file in the
               list.
  ^b[Close]^b      Exits Replace Viewer.
  ^b[Undo]^b       Restores change. You cannot undo a change after
               the file is written to disk.

The last two command buttons let you automate the replace.

  ^b[This file]^b  All instances of the found text are replaced in
               the currently viewed file.
  ^b[All files]^b  All instances of the found text are replaced in
               all files in the list.

While in the viewer, use the following keys to navigate:

  ^b^C18^b ^b^C19^b ^bPgUp^b ^bPgDn^b       to scroll vertically

  ^b^C1b^b ^b^C1a^b ^bCtrl^b+^b^C1b^b ^bCtrl^b+^b^C1a^b   to scroll horizontally

  ^bHome^b ^bEnd^b            to go to the top/bottom of the file

  ^bF5^b ^bF6^b search backward/forward for match 

  ^bF7^b ^bF8^b display the previous/next file in the file list

  ^bEsc^b   leave the viewer and return to the main screen
This command lets you search for text or Hex values, and,
optionally, replace them. After the values are entered, return
to the File Find main screen to begin the [Find] operation.
When a match is found, select [Replace].

Press ^bTab^b to move around the screen. Don't press ^bEnter^b until
you've filled in all the search information or you'll prematurely
activate the default ^b[OK]^b command button and return to the
File Find main screen.

^bSearch for:^b
  Enter the string you want to locate, or leave it blank and
  enter Hex values in the next field. If you enter text, its
  Hex equivalent is displayed.

^bHex:^b
  Directly enter the Hex values to search for. The text
  equivalent is displayed above.

^b[ ] Replace with:^b
  Check this to replace the search string. Otherwise, File Find
  just locates the string or Hex sequence. Enter the replacement
  text directly, or leave blank and enter Hex values in the next
  field. 

^bHex:^b
  Directly enter the replacement Hex values.
Use this command for safety. A check appears before the command
name in the Search menu to show that backups are enabled.

If you've specified replacement text from the File Find main
dialog or Hex Strings from the Search menu, a backup of your
original file is made -- just in case the replacements were not
what you expected.
This menu lets you change viewers or return to the File Find
main screen. 

  Search      Exit a viewer to change search criteria or
              select a particular file for viewing.
  View ASCII  Switch to the text viewer.
  View Hex    Switch to the Hex viewer.
Press ^bTab^b to move around the screen. Don't press ^bEnter^b until
you've filled in all the search information or you'll prematurely
activate the default ^b[Find]^b command button.

To find a file by its filename:

 1 Type the filename you want to locate in the ^bFile Name^b text
   box. If you're not certain of the exact name, use the ^b*^b and ^b?^b
   wildcard characters.

 2 Ignore the ^bContaining^b text box and the ^bReplace with^b and
   the ^bIgnore case^b checkboxes (these are for searching file
   contents).

 3 Select the option button to specify where to search. By
   default, File Find searches all of the current drive. If you
   select either of the ^bCurrent directory^b option buttons, look
   to the bottom of the dialog box to see which directory is
   current.

 4 Press ^bEnter^b to activate the ^b[Find]^b command button. As
   File Find searches, it displays matching files in the file
   list box.
The file specification in the ^bFile Name^b text box will limit
your search, which saves time on large-capacity drives. For
example, if you are looking for a wordprocessor file, you
might use ^b*.doc^b.

Press ^bTab^b to move around the screen. Don't press ^bEnter^b until
you've filled in all the search information or you'll prematurely
activate the default ^b[Find]^b command button.

To find a file by searching for text in the file:

 1 Type the file specification in the ^bFile Name^b text box. Use
   the ^b*^b and ^b?^b wildcard characters.

 2 Type a partial word or short phrase (or any fragment of text)
   that you know exists in the misplaced file in the ^bContaining^b
   text box. It's best to keep it short and avoid word breaks
   (word processors may insert a "soft return" between words). 

 3 Leave the ^bIgnore Case^b checkbox checked (so that "profits"
   will also find files containing "Profits" and "PROFITS").

 4 Select the option button to specify where to search. By
   default, File Find searches all of the current drive. If you
   select either of the ^bCurrent directory^b option buttons, look
   to the bottom of the dialog box to see which directory is
   current.

 5 Press ^bEnter^b to activate the ^b[Find]^b command button. The
   search is slower for text searching since the entire contents
   of each file matching ^bFile Name^b must be searched for a
   match with the ^bContaining^b text. When a name appears in the
   file list, you can press ^bTab^b and ^bEnter^b to [View] the file.

   For each file found, the number of occurrences of the search
   text is displayed on the rightmost side of the file list box.

Press ^bTab^b to move around the screen. Don't press ^bEnter^b until
you've filled in all the search information or you'll prematurely
activate the default ^b[Find]^b command button.

To search for and replace text in files:

 1 Press ^bAlt^b+^bB^b to enable ^bMake Backup Files^b on the Search
   menu.

 2 Type the file specification in the ^bFile Name^b text box. Use
   the ^b*^b and ^b?^b wildcard characters for multiple files.

 3 Type the text you want to replace in the ^bContaining^b text box.

 4 Leave ^bIgnore Case^b checked unless you only want to find
   exact matches.

 5 Check ^bReplace with:^b and enter the replacement text in the
   text box. Note that the [View] command button changes to
   [Replace].

 6 Select the option button to specify where to search. By
   default, File Find searches all of the current drive. If you
   select either of the ^bCurrent directory^b option buttons, look
   to the bottom of the dialog box to see which directory is
   current.

 7 Press ^bEnter^b to activate the [Find] command button. As
   File Find searches, it displays matching files in the file
   list box. 

 8 Select [Replace] to go the ^hReplace Text Viewer^h and confirm the
   replacements.

See also ^hHex Strings^h on the Search menu.
You only need to learn File Find's command-line syntax if you
want to use /BATCH mode. The syntax looks pretty ordinary:

  ^bFILEFIND [filespec] [search text] [replace text] [switches]

But, its "global" nature forces it to have some unconventional
quirks:

^b^C10^b Any filespec ^bwithout^b a path specifier means "anywhere
  on the default (or selected) drive." To search one directory,
  be sure to provide some sort of pathname; for instance, use
  ^b.\*^b or use ^bfilespec /C^b to mean "just the current directory"
  (add ^b/S^b to include its subdirectories and their
  subdirectories).

^b^C10^b Use the nonstandard syntax, ^b*:filespec^b, to extend the
  search through ^ball drives^b (even network drives).

^b^C10^b If filespec is omitted altogether, then File Find goes
  interactive (even with /BATCH) because it needs to know what
  file to find!

^b^C10^b As with the DOS DIR command, ^b*^b by itself implies "*.*" (any
  file name and any extension). Use ^b*.^b to find files which
  have no extension.

^b^C10^b If the search text contains any spaces, you must surround it
  with double-quote marks; for example, ^b"Dear Bob"^b. To find a
  string containing a ^b"^b, surround with single quotes; for
  example, ^b'Tony said, "Hi"'^b. Add ^b/CS^b to make the search-matching
  exact with respect to character case (by default, ^babc^b matches
  ^bAbc^b and ^bABC^b). If you need to search for something other than
  simple text strings, try Norton Disk Editor.

If any part of this seems complicated, remember that anything
you can do from the command-line can also be done quickly and
easily in the interactive mode by using File Find's simple and
friendly dialogs.
