-
- SYNOPSIS
- FDB2 P=PATTERN/A,DBD=DBASEDIR/K,MPATH/K,E=EXACT/S,
- CS=CASESENSITIVE/S,D=DIRS/S,F=FILES/S,O=ONCE/S,ALLDBS/S,

-
- DESCRIPTION
- FDB2 is a full replacement for FDB.
- If you don´t know what FDB does, read the docs.
-
- OPTIONS
-
- PATTERN
- This is a standard AmigaDOS search pattern. It determines what FDB will search for.
-
- DBASEDIR
- Selects the directory where databases reside in.
- Default is "DEVS:".
-
- MPATH
- If a path is given with this option, only files with a matching path will be
- displayed. This pattern is expected to be "EXACT". If you want all files in
- "Work:Tools/" you should type MPATH "Work:Tools/#?".
- Default is "#?".
-
- EXACT
- Show only exact matches of the given pattern.
- If EXACT is not specified, the pattern parameter "adospattern" is
- expanded to "#?adospattern#?" so it matches entries that contain
- the given pattern.
- Default is OFF.
-
- CASESENSITIVE
- If specified, search is case sensitive, otherwise not.
- Default is OFF.
-
- DIRS
- Show only matching directory names.
- Default is OFF.
-
- FILES
- Show only matching file names.
- Specifying both FILES and DIRS ends up in displaying all.
- Default is OFF.
-
- ONCE
- Show only first match, stop afterwards.
- Default is OFF.
-
- ALLDBS
- Take all files in DBASEDIR ending with ".codes" and use them as
- databases for searching.
- This option overrides the DATABASE option.
- Default is OFF.
-
- NOHEAD
- Don´t show any headers.
- Default is OFF.
-
- NOPATH
- Don´t show paths of matching entries.
- This does not apply do found directories.
- Default is OFF.
-
- PAGES
- This simply does nothing. It is only for compatibility with FDB.
-
- SETENV
- Use the current options as defaults and store them in "ENV:FDB2.prefs".
- Default is OFF.
-
- DATABASE
- Defines the database that will be searched.
- Databases have to be placed in the DBASEDIR.
- The standard suffix ".codes" is required. But you don´t have to type it.
- Default is "find.codes".
