File Finder/Grouper Release Summary
1.53 8/4/93 - Adds range capability to day-of-week date specs (e.g.,
/dSA-SU for weekend files, /dMO-FR for weekday files)
- Adds NOT capability for attributes switch e.g., /a!S
1.52 7/25/93 - Adds preliminary wild path capability - this feature may be
further refined
- Keeps running meter visible when output redirected to a file
- Improves Archive search speed for small archived files and
generally improves Archive search efficiency
- Adds on-the-fly ability to turn on beep-when-done switch
- Improved search speed when NameMask is such that standard DOS
wildcard conventions can be used.
- **IMPORTANT** Discontinues use of '+' to separate multiple
file masks. Use comma intead.
- Adds ability to specify file masks as patterns of
alternatives. For example:
All executables: *.[com,exe,bat]
All Archive Programs: *[zip,arj,arc,lha,pak,zoo]*.[exe,com]
C source code files: *.[c,h][,pp]
Note that bracketed terms may be nested:
Configuration files: *c[[o,]n,]f[i,]g*
A slash '/' can be used in lieu of the comma to separate
alternatives in the file name masks. This was required to
that the name mask could be passed to FFG as a batch file
command line argument. If commas were used, DOS would parse
the command line using the commas.
- Improves appearance of display of directories for directory
search
- Adds a "Stop after one find" option '/1'
- Adds a "Beep" option (/b) which will cause beeps when program
is done (d), user is prompted (p), file is found (f) and/or
an error occurs (e). If only /b is specified beeps occur for
all of the above. To get beeps for only some of the above
add P,F,D,E as appropriate after the /b.
- Adds a "Quiet" option (/q) which suppresses all screen output
Can selectively force display of Title, Files, Summary, Meter
by putting t,f,s, and/or m after /q. For example, /qms
suppresses all screen output but running meter and summary.
1.51 6/5/93 - Adds "Execute Command" option (/e) which allows a command to
be executed for each found file
- While searching through an archive FFG will respond more
quickly to user keypresses.
- For files found in archives, the file attributes are reported
as *ZIP, *LZH, *ARC... to indicate the archive type
- Adds a "Skip rest of drive" feature by pressing 's' during search
1.50 5/10/93 - Fixes bug where /g switch did not change into found directory
1.49 5/9/93 - Causes all DOS "Drive not ready" errors to be ignored
- Determines whether drives are logical drives at one time to improve
reliability of the logical drive determinationĀ·
- Fixed bug where only first of multiple drive ranges in DriveSpec was
considered. For example, a-df-z:*.* would have searched only d: through f:
1.48 5/8/93 - Fixes bug where "/fb." displays 0s and 1s instead of a period '.'
- Returns result codes: 1 = found, 0 = not found (and other
error codes), which can be checked using DOS "if errorlevel"
command.
- Adds new output format specifier 'n' for full file name (same as 'f.e')
- Changed Abort/interrupt message to appear even if summary display is turned off
1.47 5/4/93 - Adds a "bytes occupied" report to summary, which reports the
