-
- I am writing a little util. to search the Aminet indexes that are on the
- Aminet disks. The util will allow you to search for up to 3 different
- patterns with 2 logical param's (and, or's). Example:
-
- amifind gif|jpg&view or amifind "gif | jpg & view" same to the util.
-
- this would search for either gif or jpg in the index file and it would
- also need to have view in the description line also. Any combo of
- the & and |'s can be made. The util looks in to an assigned dir for the
- Aminet disk indexs and any matches are outputed in Amiguide format so
- that you can click on the description or file name and the proper action
- will be take on the object that was clicked.
-
- I need some one to test it out and make suggestion on new features and
- any bugs that I might have. This is the cli version only right now
- until I think it is 95% done and then I will add a GUI interface to it.
-
- Requirements are the Amifind util (of course) from me
- all the aminet disk indexs from 1 on. from the disks. I don't know
- legal's about sending the index files, but I doubt there would be a
- problem with it. All the indexs lha'ed are about 700 - 800k
-
- It requires no skips in the index disk numbers at this point but will
- be changed soon. So aminet 1 - 5, 8,9,10 it will only see 1 - 5.
-
- Thanks for any help and suggestions....
