Empire Software thanks you for trying out PEEK, our first
shareware release. PEEK is a text string locator that is the
fastest that I have seen and packs alot of power for the punch.
PEEK offers a 10-20% FASTER SEARCH than any other program of
this type that I have used.
PEEK is very simple to use, and to that end supports PEEK
a simple command line layout.
PEEK {options} string{s} / filename{s}
Options are, of course, optional and include the following.
-i ---> Insensitive case compare.
-w ---> Search for watching words only.
Example:
The text string "TEST" would match both "TEST" and "TESTING"
without the -w option. With the option only "TEST" would match.
-f ---> File to capture output to. When this option is chosen, text is
directed to this file instead of the screen.
Strings may be up to 80 characters long and may include spaces if quotes
are placed around the phrase. Up to 10 strings may be specified. If any
of these strings is in the line being tested, the line is displayed as a
match.
Ten (10) filenames may be specified for each search. *.* counts as one
filename.
NOTE: The "/" between the strings and the filename is NOT OPTIONAL.
EXAMPLES:
PEEK -i -w test / d:\empire\peek\*.h d:\empire\peek\*.c
PEEK will check each file matching the *.c and *.h spec
in the d:\empire\peek directory for test. This test will
be case insensitive and will only search for the whole word
"test".
PEEK -ffound.fil empire software / d:\bin\*.*
PEEK will check every file in d:\bin directory for the either
empire or software and this compare is case sensitive. Output
is going to be redirected to the screen and stored in the file
FOUND.FIL.
REMEMBER: Fill out the registration form and support shareware.
