Fileview is a Microsoft Windows based tool that allows you to browse files on your hard-drive or network drives. Unlike other Windows browsers, Fileview does not load the file into memory, allowing you to browse files that are larger than available memory while leaving room for other windows applications to run. To use Fileview, select a file to browse from the File/Open dialog as you would select a file in any other windows program. Once you are browsing a file, you can scroll through it and search for text using DOS style or Regular Expression style search patterns. Notations Notations Notations The following notations are used in this manual: [text] is used to identify optional information. If the option is not specified, the default action will be taken. An exception is in the discussion of the WIN.INI file. WIN.INI section headers are identified as [text] [text] [text]. These sections are boldfaced to assist in their identification whereas [options] are not normally boldfaced. Hopefully, context and the use of boldfacing will distinguish these two uses.

To specify and start a search, invoke the Edit/Search Edit/Search Edit/Search command. Once the OK button is pressed, the search will start at the top of the file and continue until the string is found or the end of the file is encountered. Fileview searches a single record at a time, so the search string can not span a line. Search For: Enter the text that should be search for. The string is entered as a wild card string or a regular expression depending on which search type is chosen. Ignore Case: If checked, the search ignores case in the search string and the file. If unchecked, the search matches on case as well as value for non- wildcard positions. Search Type Wildcard specifications are similar to wild card specification in DOS. Only the '?' is implemented as the '*' doesn't make a lot of sense. Regular Expression specifications include all the normal stuff. A couple brief commands for those not familiar with regular expressions: . Any character (like DOS ?) ? 0 or 1 of the previous character + 1 or more of the previous character * 0 or more of the previous character ^ match at the beginning of the line $ match at the end of the line [abc] match 'a', 'b', or 'c' Examples: a* match on 'a', 'aa', 'aaaaaaa', etc. a.b match on 'axb', 'ayb', 'azb', etc. a.b* match on 'ax', 'axb', 'axbb', 'ay', 'ab', 'abb' ^a.b matches 'axb' at the beginning of the line a.b$ matches 'axb' at the end of the line __________________________________________________________________________ Date: October 1, 1990Abbreviated Draft Page: 6 Fileview 1.00 Beta Release Save Saves the current values of the Ignore Ignore Ignore Case Case Case check box and Search Search Search Type.

Make checks payable to and send payments to: William L. Page P.O. Box 266 Flagtown, New Jersey 08821-0266 Note Note Note Payments must be US funds. Checks must be drawn on or payable through a US bank. If you wish to remit a foreign check, we will attempt to have our bank process it through their collection department if you include a $7 fee. Somehow that doesn't seem worth it. Foreign users are probably better off sending cash. __________________________________________________________________________ Date: October 1, 1990Abbreviated Draft Page: 8 Fileview 1.00 Beta Release Application for Single User License Registration Date: ______________________ To: William L.
