BOX.COM - This is a short program that will take the command line,
center it on a line, and draw a single line box around it.
I find it useful for replacing ECHO in batch files.
Coming attractions from K & R Software/Quantum Publishing
'WALK' by K & R Software allows a user to find files by:
- file size (or size range)
- date (or date range)
- time (or time range)
- file attributes (any combination e.g. hidden, system...)
- (or any combination of above)
- Walk allows entry of a command string in which to use the files found
e.g. Walk *.bak pc=@ "del @" >scratcher.bat
will walk the hard disk, finding all files with a .BAK extension,
the output will be piped into a batch file (scratcher.bat),
and the "@" will be replaced by each file found.
the results will look similar to this:
del doc.bak
del raktest.bak
del letter.bak
