PROGRAM NAME
Find 2.1
AUTHOR
Urban D. Müller (umueller@wuarchive.wustl.edu)
SYNOPSIS
Find [VIEW] [IN filename] string
FUNCTION
Find will search an ASCII Aminet index for a case insensitive
substring and output the matches as an AmigaGuide document which
it displays immediately.
If you enter several search strings, separated by blanks, only
lines matching all strings will be printed.
Wild cards are allowed if you run OS 2.0 or above. The pattern can
be anywhere on the line, but if you specify ^ as the first character,
it has to be at the beginning of the line. With $ at the end it has
to be at the end of the line. Other allowed characters are ? (match
any character), * (match any number of any char) and # (match any
number of the following character). Wild cards can't be combined
with multiple search strings.
If you add the VIEW option (or the VIEW=TRUE tooltype from Workbench)
then the AmigaGuide document will view archives instead of unpacking
them where possible.
If you add the IN option (or its alias INDEXFILE), that file from
the lists directory will be used for searching; there is no need to
specify the path. From Workbench, you can either single click an
index name and shift-doubleclick 'Find', or you add the INDEXFILE=xxx
tooltype to the Find icon. Note that Find will append .doc to the index
file name.
Default index name is AMINETx:Docs/Index_Dir.doc for 'Find', if the
executable is renamed to 'NewFind' or 'AminetFind', the default
changes to New_Dir and Aminet_Dir, respectively.
If you specify 'Aminet' as index name, 'Aminet_Dir' will be assumed.
The same applies for 'Index' and 'New'.
Find autodetaches.
EXAMPLES
Find xpk
Find xpk IN Aminet
Find ^xpk*handler IN Aminet_Dir
