- NAME
- AGuideXRefV37 - searches the xref-lists for a given string/pattern and
- shows a amigaguide text for the found entries
-
- TEMPLATE
- STRING,CATEGORY,FILE/K,CACHEDIR/K,LINELENGTH/N/K,COLUMNS/N/K,LIMIT/N/K,
- NOPATTERN/S,NOCASE/S,PUBSCREEN/K,PORTNAME/K
-
- FORMAT
- AGuideXRef [[STRING] string|pattern] [[CATEGORY] category] [FILE xreffile]
- [CACHEDIR dir] [LIMIT maxentries] [LINELENGTH numchars]
- [COLUMNS numcolumns] [NOPATTERN] [NOCASE] [PUBSCREEN pubname]
- [PORTNAME arexxportname]
-
- FUNCTION
- this command gives an CLI interface to the xref.library, which uses the
- AmigaGuide system to display some found xref entries and have a link to
- its real documentation.
- If you specify the CACHEDIR, this directory will be used to save the
- AmigaGuide files, if there are more the one entries for the given string
- or pattern. Any next call with this CACHEDIR and the given string/pattern,
- it will no longer call the xref.library function, but uses this file.
- If you do not specify a CATEGORY all xreffiles in the xref.library are
- parsed.From xref.library 1.8 the categorystring can be a pattern !
-
- INPUTS
- STRING (STRING) - string|pattern to search for
-
- CATEGORY (STRING) - category to parse (no specified category matches
- all categories). Can be a pattern !
-
- FILE (STRING) - file to parse, this argument overrides the CATEGORY
- argument
-
- CACHEDIR (STRING) - if you want to save all generated AmigaGuide files
- to have a fast access to it, just specify here the directory, in which
- these files will saved
-
- LIMIT (NUMBER) - specifies the maximal number of entries to match
- (default : xref.library default (XREFBA_DefaultLimit))
-
- LINELENGTH (NUMBER) - specifies the number of chars for a line
- (default : xref.library default (XREFBA_LineLength))
-
- COLUMNS (NUMBER) - specifies the number of columns, which will be used
- if more than one entry matches
- (default : xref.library default (XREFBA_Columns))
-
- NOPATTERN (BOOLEAN) - interprets the given string as a normal string
- instead of a pattern
-
- NOCASE (BOOLEAN) - makes the search case-insensitive
-
- PUBSCREEN (STRING) - specifies the screen, on which the AmigaGuide window
- should be opened
-
- EXAMPLES
- The following example searches all xreffiles of the AutoDoc category for
- xrefentries with the word "Window" inside and tries to open a window on
- the
- GoldEd Screen, if it has found some entry matches this pattern :
-
- AGuideXRefV37 #?Window#? #?AutoDoc#? PUBSCREEN=GOLDED.1
