WARNING: USE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK
TESTED UNDER: NeXTStep 3.2 on my NeXTStation
COST: MAILWARE:
If you like it, send me email.
If you don't, help me improve it.
BLURB:
Do you ever use 'find' from the command line?
If so, then you have probably typed 'man find' more times than you care to remember. As anyone who reads the NeXT newsgroups will know, I hate man pages because I can rarely understand them. And UNIX syntax, well, let's just say it can be confusing.
So I wrote this script, which allows you to set these flags:
-name
-type
-user
-atime
-ctime
-mtime
-exec
-ok
-ls
-print
which _I_ think are the most widely used flags (you may disagree, I give you full permission). It also allows you to _not_ set any of those flags if you do not wish to do so (simply hit RETURN when prompted for input). There are many other flags which can be very helpful, but I had to cut this off at a certain point in order to limit the complexity to a reasonable level.
Simply drop this script into your $PATH, make it executable (chmod 755 findi), type 'rehash' and then 'findi' and you'll be prompted for the various pieces of information the script wants.
BUGS:
None known, except that there are no provisions made for these flags:
-fstype
-perm
-prune
-links
-nouser
-group
-nogroup
-size
-inum
-cpio
-ncpio
-newer
-xdev
-depth
Nor is there a way to look for something which is NOT a link/directory, etc etc.
