ORGANIZE! YOUR COLLECTION - Search & Replace Utility
--------------------------------------------------------------
This utility is copyright 1995 by H.C.P. Services, Inc.
It may not be copy, duplicated, or distributed in any manner
without the written permission of PSG-HomeCraft Software.
This utility is provided at no charge. Technical support is
not available for this utility.
This utility will work with catalog files created by both the
DOS and WINDOWS version of the OYC software.
INTRODUCTION ----------
This utility provides two features:
1) Search & Replace: finds any character, word, or phrase on the
specified line and replaces it with any other character, word, or
phrase.
2) Find & Update: finds any character, word, or phrase on a specified
line, and then saves new information on any other line for that entry.
For example, in a music catalog you could search for the name of an
artist, and have this utility put a word identifying that artist's
style of music on the TYPE OF MUSIC line for that entry.
INSTALLING AND STARTING -------------
Copy the SEARCH.EXE file to the same drive and directory as your OYC
software.
Start this software by going to the DOS prompt for the drive and
directory containing the OYC software; type SEARCH; and push ENTER.
This utility can also be run from within Windows.
SEARCH & REPLACE ------------
When this utility starts you'll be given the option of pushing "S"
to use the Search & Replace feature, or "F" to use the Find & Replace
feature. Push the letter "S".
The next prompt askes you to enter the number of the line you wish
to search. Type that number (refer to the list of lines shown on the
left side of the screen) and push ENTER.
Now enter the information you want to find. This may be a single
character, word or phrase. The search and replace feature is case
sensitive, so you must enter this information exactly as it current
appears in your catalog.
Next enter the information to replace what you are searching for.
You may enter a blank space (just push ENTER), a character, word,
or phrase. This utility will delete the information you are searching
for and insert this information in its place.
The next prompt askes whether you'd like to set a starting or ending
point. If you have a large catalog, you may only want to use the
search and replace on a portion of that catalog.
If you want the search and replace to look through your entire catalog,
push the letter "N". Otherwise push the letter "Y". If you push "Y"
you'll be prompted to enter a starting entry number and ending entry
number.
FIND & UPDATE ---------------
When this utility starts you'll be given the option of pushing "S"
to use the Search & Replace feature, or "F" to use the Find & Replace
feature. Push the letter "F".
The next prompt askes you to enter the number of the line you wish
to search. Type that number (refer to the list of lines shown on the
left side of the screen) and push ENTER.
Now enter the information you want to find. This may be a single
character, word or phrase. The search and replace feature is case
sensitive, so you must enter this information exactly as it current
appears in your catalog.
Next you'll be asked to enter the number of the line you wish to
put new information on. Again refer to the list on the left side
of the screen, type the appropriate number, and push ENTER.
Now enter the new information you want to add to each entry matching
what you are searching for. This new information will completely
replace the information already on the selected line.
The next prompt askes whether you'd like to set a starting or ending
point. If you have a large catalog, you may only want to use the
search and replace on a portion of that catalog.
If you want the search and replace to look through your entire catalog,
push the letter "N". Otherwise push the letter "Y". If you push "Y"
you'll be prompted to enter a starting entry number and ending entry
number.
