FFIND (C) 1989 C.C. Thompson (Compuserve 76367,106)
DESCRIPTION
FFIND is a file finder program much like FF found in the Norton
Utilities Advanced Edition.
FFIND can be used to find all files on a drive matching a
particular filespec. Wildcard file specifications are fully
supported.
FFIND is very helpful when you may have 'lost' a file, or
when you'd like to determine whether you may have files with
duplicate names scattered across your disk.
The output of FFIND can be redirected to a device or printer
(e.g. LPT1: or fname.ext)
Execution can be terminated at any time by hitting the Esc
(Escape) key, Ctrl-Break, or Ctrl-C.
USAGE
FFIND [d:] [filespec] [switches]
[d:] is the drive to search; if this is not
specified, the default drive is used
[filespec] is optional; if omitted, *.* is used
SWITCHES:
/W Wide format
if /W is specified, file sizes and dates are omitted,
and only the file names are listed in a 5 file per
line format.
/O Omit directories
This can be especially useful when using a filespec of
*. or *.* . It produces a more compact listing when
you are interested only in files, and not
subdirectories, which happen to match the filespec.
/P Pause Mode
Pauses and prompts for a keypress after each page
of output.
Whether or not the /P option is specified FFIND
output can be interrupted at any time by pressing any
key.
/H Help
Produces a screen explaining FFIND syntax
