- ListCom Version 1.0 Release 8.11
-
- ListCom is my first ever C program (besides the usual Hello World
- program). I have copyrighted the source but you can change it and
- improve it if you wish.
-
- ListCom stands for List Comment. The comment is a standard AmigaDOS
- file comment also referred to as a file note.
-
- I wrote ListCom because all of the DIR and LIST replacements did not
- give you the choice of listing by the comment. Now granted, many
- normal people probably don't need this feature, but I am not one of
- those people.
-
- I have 20+ disks filled with all of the downloads I have done in the
- last 4 years. The best way to find what some "foo.lzh" file is without
- listing the archive (ie:lharc l foo.lzh) is to place a comment about
- the archive, what it does, rating the performance, does it have source,
- etc.
-
- ListCom simply lists files by comment. There is no extensive pattern
- matching, nor are there any switches. If you type ListCom with a
- pathname, you get a list of all file entries in that dircetory with
- a comment attached. If you type a path and comment, all files with
- comments begining with the same characters will be listed. This is
- case in-sensative, ie: joe = JOE.
-
- Examples:
-
- ListCom "" ;Lists current directory all files with comments
- ListCom t: "docs for" ;Lists t: directory - all files with comments
- beginning with "docs for" (ignore quotes)
- ListCom "" Utility ;Lists current directory all files with comments
- beginning with "utility".
-
-
- Hope this is helpful.
-
- If anyone does have code parts to help write better patternmatching
- and simple switch argument parsing, please let me know where I can
- find source.
-
- Enjoy! :D
