NAME
FDB2 1.3 - FDB replacement
SYNOPSIS
FDB2 P=PATTERN/A,DBD=DBASEDIR/K,MPATH/K,E=EXACT/S,
CS=CASESENSITIVE/S,D=DIRS/S,F=FILES/S,O=ONCE/S,ALLDBS/S,
NH=NOHEAD/S,NP=NOPATH/S,PG=PAGES/S,SETENV/S,DB=DATABASE/K
DESCRIPTION
FDB2 is a full replacement for FDB.
If you don´t know what FDB does, read the docs.
OPTIONS
PATTERN
This is a standard AmigaDOS search pattern. It determines what FDB will search for.
DBASEDIR
Selects the directory where databases reside in.
Default is "DEVS:".
MPATH
If a path is given with this option, only files with a matching path will be
displayed. This pattern is expected to be "EXACT". If you want all files in
"Work:Tools/" you should type MPATH "Work:Tools/#?".
Default is "#?".
EXACT
Show only exact matches of the given pattern.
If EXACT is not specified, the pattern parameter "adospattern" is
expanded to "#?adospattern#?" so it matches entries that contain
the given pattern.
Default is OFF.
CASESENSITIVE
If specified, search is case sensitive, otherwise not.
Default is OFF.
DIRS
Show only matching directory names.
Default is OFF.
FILES
Show only matching file names.
Specifying both FILES and DIRS ends up in displaying all.
Default is OFF.
ONCE
Show only first match, stop afterwards.
Default is OFF.
ALLDBS
Take all files in DBASEDIR ending with ".codes" and use them as
databases for searching.
This option overrides the DATABASE option.
Default is OFF.
NOHEAD
Don´t show any headers.
Default is OFF.
NOPATH
Don´t show paths of matching entries.
This does not apply do found directories.
Default is OFF.
PAGES
This simply does nothing. It is only for compatibility with FDB.
SETENV
Use the current options as defaults and store them in "ENV:FDB2.prefs".
Default is OFF.
DATABASE
Defines the database that will be searched.
Databases have to be placed in the DBASEDIR.
The standard suffix ".codes" is required. But you don´t have to type it.
Default is "find.codes".
