NAME
dd - dir program with ls command support and colored extensions
SYNOPSIS
dd [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrRsStux1?] file1 file2 file3 ...
dd file1 file2 file3 ... [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?]
dd file1 [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?] file2 file3 ...
dd file1 [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?] file2 [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?] file3 ...
DESCRIPTION
DD is a WIN32 console application written for the Microsoft WIN32 sub
system, it will not however support the WIN32S subsystem. DD is to a
degree compatible with the UNIX directory program LS as far as certain
arguments are concerned. Current UNIX LS arguments supported are :
[-acdFlqrRstux1]
Work is still currently in progress for the support of the following
remaining LS arguments are :
[-CgiLo]
Additional commands supported native to DD are:
[-DEHNOSp?]
There are two modes of display using DD. One is the short or brief listing
the other is long or detailed. DD also supports pipes and output
redirection. eg .
[long format display]
dd -l
[short format display]
dd or dd -ll
(note "-l" flag toggles long display. "-ll" is a double toggle eg OFF
-l ON -l OFF)
[formatting pipes]
dd |more (page pause)
[output redirection]
dd >dirlist.txt (dumps screen to a file called "dirlist.txt")
DD supports both old MS-DOS style wildcards and new MS-DOS (UNIX) style
wildcards. Multiple search conditions and wildcards are permissible and
there is no limit on the number of search conditions specified. eg.
[multiple search conditions]
dd file1 file2 file3 ...
[wildcard search parameters]
dd *exe (looks for files ending with "exe" for extensions and
filenames)
dd *.*e (looks for files ending with "e" for extensions only)
dd .*e (as above looks for files ending with "e" for
extensions only)
dd e*.* (looks for files starting with "exe")
dd e* (as above looks for files starting with "exe")
dd *.e* (looks for files starting with "e" for extensions
only)
dd .e* (as above looks for files starting with "e" for
extensions only)
Arguments maybe passed either via command prompt or via the COMMAND
ENVIRONMENT. If an argument is specified in the COMMAND ENVIRONMENT, the
argument will be invoked every time DD is executed. Commands passed via
the COMMAND ENVIRONMENT maybe be done as follows :
set DD32CMD = -acdDEFlNOpqrRsStux1
This is set in either the AUTOEXEC.BAT, Windows NT Control Panel - SYSTEM
or from the command prompt.
Some arguments will toggle so as to allow for deactivation if preset in
the COMMAND ENVIRONMENT. Commands passed via the command prompt maybe be
done as follows :
dd [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?] [-acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?] [-
acdDEFhHlNOpqrsStux1?] ...
ARGUMENTS
Arguments only applicable to short display format :
s - Show Size (toggles)
x - Sort files horizontally (toggles)
1 - One column only (toggles)
Arguments only applicable to long display format :
l - Long display format (toggles)
Arguments only applicable to both display format :
a - All files (toggles)
c - Use creation times
d - Only display directories (toggles)
F - Attach "*" to executable's "/" to directories "@" to scripts
(toggles)
h - Help screen for commands pause maybe invoked aswell
H - Help screen for color codes pause maybe invoked aswell
O - Show DOS 8.3 filename formats (toggles)
p - Pause (toggles)
q - Replace non-printing chars as "?"(toggles)
r - Reverse order of files (toggles)
R - Recurse directory (toggles)
t - Use last modified time
u - Use last accessed time
? - Argument help screen
Arguments used as sort conditions :
Note that more than one condition maybe passed. The order in which they
are passed determines their priority
D - Sort by date
E - Sort by extension
N - Sort by Name
S - Sort by size
BUGS
Currently the ownership and so on that maybe associated with network
workspace has been excluded until Windows95 ships so that hopefully I can
then test the code under both OS. So far there isn't any specific NT calls
but rather WIN32 so it should function correctly under Windows95.
FIX FROM 1.0
Date field corrected.
Background color checking before assigning a color to an extention.
Daynamic directory array so will support as many files as your memory
(block) will allow.
