FILE function S - Search

This command scans file names and descriptions for a keyword, or a
"wildcard" file specification.  This gives you the capability to search for
a specific file, to locate a group of files dealing with a specific topic
or to identify certain types of files (e.g., .BAS, .COM, .EXE).

You will be prompted for the string to scan for after you issue the "S"
command.  Case (upper or lower) is ignored in the search.  For instance,
the S)earch command treats the string "PC" and "pc" as identical.

Next, you will be asked for a directory to scan.  Type in their name(s) or
number(s) separated by spaces.  You can search through all of the
directories on the system by typing "A" at the prompt.  Pressing [ENTER]
will return you to the Library Menu.

WARNING:  The directory file is VERY large, and could take several minutes
          to scan.  You can save time by specifying specific directories.

If a string is found when searching the Library directories the disk number
will be displayed in columns 77-79.

TIPS:
1.  You can obtain a list of directory names and numbers by giving the "L"
    command.

2.  You can stack the S)earch command with the desired string.  That is,
    you can enter "S <string> <dir>" directly from the Library Menu.  For
    example, you could type "S ZORK GAMES" to search for the string "ZORK"
    in the GAMES directory.

3.  A string that occurs as part of a file name or description will still
    produce a match.  Entering "BAS" will give you a listing of all files
    with a) a ".BAS" extension, b) "BAS" as part of the file name, or c)
    "BAS" as part of a word or term in the file description.

4.  S supports "wildcards" ?  and * in file names.  E.g., "S LIST*.ZIP"
    will find the file LIST543.ZIP.

5.  Keep in mind that strings consisting of only a few characters could
    produce too many matches.  "S X" will locate every line with an "X" in
    it.

6.  Strings consisting of many characters could produce too few matches.
    For example, if you want all files connected with QMODEM, specifying "S
    QMODEM*.*" will miss QMDM210.ZIP and QMODFON.ZIP.  You might want to
    broadened your search with "S QM*.*" to make sure you get all wanted
    files.
