LList V0.3 by Nic Wilson
------------------------
How many times have you looked at a disk and directory and wondered
which files are the executable ones, IFF files, Data files etc.
This happens to me all the time with utility and public domain disks
that are full with files, some executable and some not.
LList has been written to overcome this. It will display normal info
that 'list' shows but includes information about the type if file it
is. It is slightly slower than the list command as it has to read
each file.
The program can be aborted at anytime during its listing
by pressing either CTRL C or CTRL D.
This version currently knows files of the following type.
Executable, ASCII, Data, WordPerfect, MOST Text, MOST IFF,
IFF, 8SVX, SMUS. It also will show many different type off
IFF files by extracting and printing info from inside the file.
For example, an AmigaVision file will be shown as 'IFF AVCF' even
though they are not actually known.
HISTORY
-------
0.2 Changed to lengthen amount of name string.
0.3 bug fix to stop incorrect date on some files.
SYNOPSIS
LList <directory> [files|dirs]
The optional parameters may be given in any order.
If the only parameter is a '?' then a usage string
will be displayed.
<directory> A directory or file to scan. If no directory is given
then the current directory will be shown. The output
will be printed to the current CLI window, unless
redirection was used. The following standard Amiga
wildcards are allowed. #?'
[files|dirs] Optional switch for directories or files.
If neither of these switch are given then both files
and directories will be shown.
EXAMPLES
--------
1. To scan the directory MyDir on a disk in DF0: & show files
LList files df0:MyDir
or
LList df0:MyDir files
2. To scan the same directory but send output to the printer.
LList >prt: df0:MyDir files
or
LList >prt: files df0:MyDir
3. To scan the current directory and show directories only
LList dirs
4. To show all files beginning with 'S'
LList files s#?
5. To show a file called fi?le (wildcard character in name)
LList fi'?le (the ' stops the ? being seen as wild)
6. To show all files with more than two a's together.
LList files #?#a#?
