QWord Finder and QWord Find and Replace
Version 1.0, November 1, 1991
Copyright (C) 1991 by Steve Petermann
all rights reserved
Description:
------------
"QWord Finder" and "QWord Find and Replace" are shell programs to
find, view, and/or replace words across files and across
subdirectories. They use Borland's Grep.com to find the files with
matching words and then use Qmac and Sammy Mitchell's excellent
QEdit to view and/or replace the words. They were designed
especially for programmers who need to change symbol names across
many files and directories. Since viewing and replacement occurs
within QEdit, you have complete control over the process.
Usage:
------
To use the programs you will need q.exe(ver 2.1 or later),
qmac.exe and Borland's grep.com in the path of your computer.
QMac.exe is the macro compiler for QEdit and can be found on many
bulletin boards or QEdit's board at 1-404-641-8968. Borland's
grep is used because it allows searching subdirectories. It is
bundled with Borland's language products. Input fields include:
1) Find: The search pattern to find. This is a pattern of
letters and symbols to be found. It can be a single letter,
a word or a string of words up to 59 characters(QEdit limit).
2) Put: What to replace it with(QWord Find and Replace). This
is a letter, word or string of words up to 59 characters.
3) Path: The search path. The drives, directories, file
names and extensions to search through. Multiple paths
should be separated by a space. You can use wildcards as
needed. If you don't specify a directory in the path, the
current directory is searched. This entry can be up to 96
characters, but it's length may cause the grep search
pattern to be clipped(will be shown in the Find field).
This is because of the DOS 128 byte command line limit. The
search pattern that QEdit uses will, however, not be
clipped.
Example: Path: *. *.c *.h c:\bin\test\test.c d:\assem\*.asm
4) Mode: Search Options.
Defaults are non-word, case sensitive, current directory only
Options available are:
'w' For word search
'i' To ignore case
'd' To search the subdirectories on the specified paths.
With this option, if you don't specify any
directories, the search will start at the current
directory and proceed to its subdirectories.
Command Line Input:
-------------------
Input for the search path and search options can be entered at the
command line. This can be useful for setting up batch files with
default options(see wf.bat and wfr.bat). The search options are
preceded by a '-'. Multiple search paths are separated by a space.
Examples: qwf -wid *.cpp *.hpp
qwfr -i *.c *.h *.asm *.inc
Use a ? on the command line to show the usage.(qwf ?) or (qwfr ?).
Editing:
--------
The normal editing keys(arrows, home, end , delete, etc) and some
of the WordStar type control commands(Ctr-S, Ctrl-D, etc) can be
used for editing fields. An exception is that Ctrl-A positions
the cursor at the beginning of the string and Ctrl-F at the end
of the string. The return, tab, back tab, up arrow, down arrow,
Ctrl-E, Ctrl-C allow movement between fields. All entries are
accepted after the mode field is completed.

$10.00 would be appreciated. Send to:
