Ultimate Dir by RAW/Insanity
(31.03.93)
This Dir command depends on your current Kickstart Version, the higher the
version, the more features.
Features (compared to Master Dir):
V33/V34 (KS1.2/KS1.3):
Pure (97.8% pure anyway, but safe to make resident)
Breakable (CTRL-C)
List option
Sizecheck dirs option
Findfile option
Shows if disk is Read Only (R) or Read/Write (W)
If Dir is resident, it can remember options (-r option)
Number of names for listing is only limited by the size of your mem.
It's NOT MasterDir
V36 (KS2.0):
Shows the full path of the directory that is read
Shows the full path of the directory where file is found (-F option)
List option also shows dates
Special list option disables substitutes for dates
Error messages expanded from:
Disk Error 226.
to
Disk Error 226: no disk in drive
V37 (KS2.04) and up:
Wildcards available.
wildcards are:
? Matches a single character.
# Matches the following expression 0 or more times.
(ab|cd) Matches any one of the items seperated by '|'.
~ Negates the following expression. It matches all strings
that do not match the expression (aka ~(foo) matches all
strings that are not exactly "foo").
[abc] Character class: matches any of the characters in the class.
[~bc] Character class: matches any of the characters not in the
class.
a-z Character range (only within character classes).
% Matches 0 characters always (useful in "(foo|bar|%)").
* Synonym for "#?", not available by default in 2.0.
A little bug in DOS:
In V37 DOS, character-classes ([x-y]) are not properly case
INsensitive. Fixed in V39 DOS.
NOTES:
The -r option only works if Dir is resident and you either have a kickstart
greater or equal to V36 (KS2.0) or when using Shell under KS V34 (1.3).
The sizecheck option and pattern matching doesn't allways work properly with
disk formatted with the DirCache option. The bug is in DOS not in Dir, so
there's not much I can do about it. Just don't use DirCache.
Some options disable others. There is for example no reason to sizecheck
dirs if only files are displayed.
When using the findfile option you can't use wildcards when specifying the
directory(ies) in where to search.
When making this command resident with WShell remember to use the
-IGNORE keyword.
