  FastFind is program, which is able to search for files, search strings in 
files, replace strings in files, execute commands on files (Can be used as 
_very_ powerfull FOR command in batch files). On local drives, it uses fast 
access (it tests, if it is possible, use /F- to force using dos) which 
bypasses some parts of DOS and makes search even faster (about 2 times). 
  Text search can be case insensitive (/I+). However, case insensitive search 
is alittle bit slower and text _replace_ is _always_ case sensitive. Replace 
requires to be enough space for backup file (extension of ~ and last 2 chars 
of extension). 
  FastFind uses technique of parameters written directly into .EXE file. That 
is done for maximum speed and good flexibility. FastFind uses special 'disk' 
*: which means all disks you specify by /Dx commands (specify all hard drives) 
- so when you save /DCDEF into .EXE file, every time you specify *:*.txt it 
will search C:,D:,E:,F: for .txt files. Run SParams.exe to insert/change 
parameters within ffind.exe.

_Unpack.bat_ unpacks all compressed files in current directory. But first, it 
creates separate directory for each packed file. Very usefull tool when you 
bring set of packed files (downloaded from net) and want to examine them 
quickly. _0zap.bat_ will delete any files with zero size if they matches 
wildcard(s) you pass to it. Such files are often created as result of system 
crash and usually are not neccessary. Example: 0zap *:*.* (deletes all such 
files on all disks you specified in saved parameters). _Unix2dos.bat_ converts 
specified file(s) from unix-like form (lines ended with #10), to dos-like form 
(lines ended with #13#10). _Dos2unix.bat_ does reverse process. _DelTrash.bat_ 
searches for all files which look like trash (temporary, backup,... Then it 
runs editor on this set of files, so you see name of every file to be deleted, 
and can save it by deleting its line. You're expected to edit this file to fit 
your own needs (for example you can specify directories where you don't want 
DelTrash to delete files - type find /V "do\not\delete\here\" <%f% >%f% 
), but please rename it to MyTrash.bat then.

  For command line help, start programm with /? as parameter.

FFIND [*:]path\[!]file [[!]file [...]] ["text" ["r.text"]] [[command]] [options]

  You can use things like #13#10"Sample"#13#10 to insert unprintable
characters into search/replace string. This example will search single line
(not first, not last) containing only "Sample" in DOS text file.

  FastFIND uses advanced wildcard matching:

  * can be in middle of name indicating any number of characters
    (*A*.* than means all files with 'A' in name)

  more than one wildcard can be  present on command line meaning "it  matches,
if it matches first wildcard OR second wildcard OR third..."

  ! can be present before wildcard meaning "exclude such files"
      (works as AND NOT)

  /Ax[+|-] switch can be used to select files by attribute
    x can be:
      D .. Directory
      A .. Archive
      R .. Read - only
      S .. System
      H .. Hidden

  /Ax  .. don't care about attribute x
  /Ax+ .. attribute x must be set
  /Ax- .. attribute x must not be set
  /S}x .. file must be bigger (or equal) than x bytes
  /S{x .. file must be smaller (or equal) than x bytes

  default  is  /AD-,  these  switches  are  ignored,  if name does not contain
wildcards

 Use following in [command]

 %1-drive %2-path %3-name %4-extension %5-full path %6-directory
 %DISK, %EXT, %PATH, %OPATH (path, no drive), %NAME, %FULLPATH, %HASH
 (%HASH inserts "#" into command line, don't type # into command string)

Options:
  /?  help                           /I+ ignore case
  /S- do not search subdirectories   /C+ complete file info
  /C- only file names                /E+ only files NOT containing "text"
  /B+ beep on end of every search    /B- do not beep on end of long search
  /Ynnn /Nnnn answer Yes/No on error nnn automaticaly
  /K- do not check keyboard (default Ctrl=pause, Ctrl+Alt=break)
  /F- use DOS for disk reads         /T+ end after first matching file
  /Dlist_of_drives  search on specified drives when used *:

Example:
FFIND *:*.com *.exe !a*.* "Window" /DACDG [type %5]
  Searches on disks A:,C:,D:,G: for files .com and .exe, that don't start with A
  and that contains text "Window". Types every matching file.
