- Are you one of those who copy files to your harddisk and then forget where
- you put them. Don't feel like you're the only one. My memory too, is very
- useful but sadly very short.
- No need to worry anymore. Your problem (and mine for that matter) is now
- solved. The solution is Seek (what else?).
-
- Going through my old sourcecodes I found this program and decided to make
- some improvements.
- As you might have seen there are many programs like this one but none of
- them can do what Seek does.
-
- Seek was mainly written to search for files, but I soon discovered that just
- finding the files weren't enough. Many programs doesn't have the ability to
- look through a directory tree to find files. I therefor added the option to
- execute any command on the files it find. This makes it possible to
- eg. delete all files matching '#?.bak' on a whole volume.
- What you want to do with the files Seek finds is up to you but deleting
- them could be one of them. The only requirement is that the command you
- execute must not expect any input (besides commandline arguments of course).
-
- Seek will find both files and directories matching the pattern.
- Files are printed in black and directories in blue.
