PROGRAM : _FIND
VERSION : 3.1 / 1.1.94

This Program is Shareware. It is just like it is.
The Author warrants for nothing. You use the software at your own risk.
You may use this as long as you (or your Computer) wants
(whatever happens first). Feel encouraged to give this program
to your friends, but make sure, this file is enclosed.
As Licence Fee i *suggest* a CIS mail somewhat like:
TO: Frank Jorga, 100325,3500
I (like/dislike) the program cause ...
Then you are a registrated user and i've got some input <g>
Using this program in a business site requires further negotiating.
Support is not provided unless the idea is of technical interest.
Now here is how it works:
_FIND serves to search and process files in three areas:
1) on all drives (-a)
2) on the current drive
3) on a path on the current drive (-p)
You can limit focus:
1) only selected date regions (-dg, -de, -dl)
2) only files which contain a wordfragment (-t)
As it is almost impossible to remember the parameter structure
the program explains itself when you call it without parameters.
Examples:
Find all files *.exe on the current drive
_find *.exe
Fild all files *.c and *.h on the current drive
_find *.[ch]
Find all files *.c on current drive and list with pathnames
_find *.c -a -l
Delete all files *.bak on the current rive
_find *.bak -s"del $$"
Save all available basic-Sources to a disk
_find *.bas -a -s"copy $$ a:"
Save all *.c files in the current tree to *.bak
_find *.c -p. -s"copy $$ $.bak"
Fild all files *.bat on all drives which contain the word 'smartdrv'
_find *.bat -a -tsmartdrv -s"type $$"
More than one fragment is not possible in the current version.
Search is case-sensitive.
Find all files modified or created after the 1.12.1993
_find * -dg1.12.1993 -l
Save all files to disk modified today. Today in my case is 6.1.92.
_find * -de6.1.1994 -a -s"copy $$ a:"
If you are not common to the wildcardnotation of unix, and you wish to
go into hard stuff like deleting lots of files, i strongly recommend to
list affected files first and add the system command later. This gives
you a chance to check out first.
_find * -s"del $$"
for example has a function like the unix "rm -r" which wipes the
whole disk. Anyway in some cases this might be just what you want to do.
If you are not 100% sure about what you are doing limit the system
commands to TYPE and COPY
IMHO the useage of this program is a little cryptic but the additional
struggle with parameters pays off well. This program adresses the
professional user and programmer.
Good Luck !
Thanks for downloading the software. Nice to meet you.
6.1.1994
