BBSSCAN v1.00
This quick 'n dirty little text scanner was originally written for my own
use to wade through the massive catalogue text files from PC-Board.
If the word searched for appears in the filename or in the description,
the complete entry will be output, although not if it spans multiple pages.
As a bonus, the number of files found and their total size in bytes will
be output at the end of the scan.
It is very fast ( especially if you use it on a RAM disk ) and is kept
to a small size by using the STDIN and STDOUT features of DOS.
Usage:
BBSSCAN keyword < redirect in > redirect out
Where <keyword> is the single word to search for. ( BBSSCAN does not
support multiple words or phrases and is case insensitive. ). <redirect in>
is the text file that you want to search and <redirect out> is where you want
the findings to go.
Examples:
BBSSCAN windows < BBSLIST.TXT > CON
Scan for the word "Windows" in the file BBSLIST.TXT and output the
findings to the screen.
BBSSCAN windows < BBSLIST.TXT > LPT1
Scan for the word "Windows" in the file BBSLIST.TXT and output the
findings to the first parallel port.
BBSSCAN windows < BBSLIST.TXT > WINDOWS.TXT
Scan for the word "windows" in the file BBSLIST.TXT and output the
findings to WINDOWS.TXT.
BBSSCAN windoze < BBSLIST.TXT >> WINDOWS.TXT
Scan for the word "windoze" in the file BBSLIST.TXT and APPEND the
findings to WINDOWS.TXT.
Example scan of a catalogue file, 2,243,451 bytes in size, for "WINDOZE".
■ BBSSCAN version 1.00.
■ PC-Board list-of-files scanner.

BBSSCAN: scanning for "WINDOZE".
OS2WIN31.ZIP 367476 05-20-93 If you have Windoze 3.1 on your harddrive,
you can NOW run it UNDER OS/2 2.0! Yes, it
works!! Get it!
Scan reference: "WINDOZE".
Total number of files - 1.
Total number of bytes - 367476.
This scan took less than 5 seconds on a 486 33Mhz running with a disk
cache, might even be quicker on a RAM disk.
Comments and suggestions for improvement will be welcome.
