OCR: Help for Filelister === ==== General : Independent of your choise (Mark, Info) in the prompt, you can enter one of the four possible types of file selecting : 1. number (stays before each fileline) 2. number range (e.g. 1-5 for selecting the files from number 1 to 5) 3. filename (who guessed ? ;- ) ) 4. pattern (OS2.x+ compatible filepattern) Features : * or #? - matches all Hx matches any amount of x (even 0 !) ? matches one character [a-d] matches characters a to d ald matches a or d X matches unequal x Examples : ff (99[1-9]|1000 ). lha => ff991. lha to ff999. lha & ff1000. 1ha recent [0-9]#[0-9] recent00. .. to recent99. . All types of selecting can be used at one time by using "," or spaces. e.g. : 1,xx, ff#? 5-10 "name, extension" In this example you can see the situation, if a file has a "," in its name. For this case there are quotes. Characters between quotes will be used as you write them. Cursor keys While prompt is displayed, you can use your cursor keys to mark or unmark certain files. Simply choose cursor up or the numeric keys (Up, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn) to step through the screen. If there was more than one page shown, you can go back with SHIFT+Up or the numeric key 9 and forward with SHIFT+Down or the numeric key 3. RETURN or SPACE marks and demarks a selected file. Marked files are shown with a star between the number and the filename. So you'll see imediately which files are marked and which not. Mark prompt Trying to mark one file twice will cause a request if you'll want to unmark this file. Otherwise files will be listed with length and marking does. total length of all marks. Marked files also get stars like cursor Info prompt Some files may have a long description that contains more informations. 1. extact length in bytes 2. uploader name 3. long description of the file (has no 40 characters limit) ANSI users won't loose the displayed lines above because Filelister completes the screen after returning to the prompt. Download menu Shows you marked files and displays a mark prompt. It has the same function as the mark prompt in the list except of setting/unsetting the star. If anything is not clear, imediately connect your sysop and kill his nervs ;- ) Comment by the author : sorry for my bad school english, but I hope you understood what I mean.
