K9FINDIT v4.0 * File Locating Utilty * Updated on 3/9/1994
=============================================================================
A GREAT FAST file locating utility!!! Will search ALL harddrives and
ALL subdirectories on them for a file, or matching files. DOS-style [* NEW *]
wildcards built in. Also searches hidden directories too!
Haven't you ever been frustrated with wanting to know where the heck that
file you JUST saw the other day went? And you KNOW you didnt remove it..?
Well... if my file location utility doesn't find it.. IT DOESNT EXIST!!!
Written in a combination of HEAVY assembly (fast) code and little basic, I
can go through my entire 85 meg drive and several hundred files in JUST a few
seconds!!!! NO KIDDING!!!
Examples of useage:
--------------------
To look for JUNK.XXX just enter 'JUNK.XXX' (NO DUH!!!!!)
It willl display ALL matches of the same file and where they are at!
To look for partial matches, use standard DOS wildcards '*' and '?' which
are NOW SUPPORTED FULLY!!!!
To look for all files with ".DAT" in them enter '*.DAT'
(NOTE: The ' apostrophies in my examples are NOT to be entered, UNLESS)
(your filename HAS them.)
Command Line Options:
----------------------
/F: A filename, or 'wildfile' partial name for matching.
/L: A log name, with optional drive and path, otherwise
will default to the current directory on startup.
Example: I want to log to 'D:\BBS\LOGS.DAT' and do a list of all files
ending in '.LOG'. Here's how I run the program:
K9FINDIT /f:*.log /l:d:\bbs\logs.dat
Other Notes:
-------------
If used with the /F AND /L option, it will NOT print to the screen.
If you want a total of files on your system drives, use '*.*' as a wildcard.
(12/13/93)
If you want to make a list of ALL files on your drives, do this:
K9FINDIT /L:{name of file to list files} [/F:*.*]
You can enter the '*.*' either on the command line or at the prompt in
the program.
Program return codes:
----------------------
If run from a batch file or automated process, I included return codes
that a batch file can use as follows:
0 = No matches or error.
1 or more means the total of matches.
Log File Setup:
---------------
SIMPLE! Displays the date and time run, and all files meeting the file-
spec entered. Also shows notations of outcome of search.
Have fun!!!!
