- SRDEMO 1.1 Quick Guide

-
-
- Overview
-
- SRDEMO demonstrates library routines for sorting file names that
- may contain digits, spaces, lower-case letters and/or commas
- within numbers. For example, the output of this program when run
- on the file names in LISTFILE follows:
-
- SRDEMO 1.1, Copyright (c) 1995 by David M. Wincelberg
-
- Alphanumerically Sorted Filenames:
-
- FILE FILE.000 FILE.BAK FILE0000
- FILE0A FILE1 FILE1A FILE0002
- FILE2 FILE2.DAT File4 FILE10
- FILE23 FILE24 FILE102 FILE125
- FILE127 FILE135 FILE1002
-
- Notice that leading zeros are ignored and numbers of
- different lengths are sorted properly. Also notice that "File4"
- is a case-sensitive name. If you use the routines in SRLIB, your
- users will see properly sorted file names even if some indexed
- set of files unexpectedly needs another digit. For example,
- suppose a user is indexing newsletters as Vxx#nn.TXT and receives
- issue 100. Then, instead of V15#100.TXT appearing between
- V15#10.TXT and V15#11.TXT, it will be displayed in its proper
- place. Using SRLIB will also save your users the inconvenience
- of typing leading zeros (or spaces in a long file name).
-
- As a first test of SRLIB, enter:
-
- SRDEMO @LISTFILE /W4
-
- To put "File4" in its correct place, add the /I switch.
