Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 07:39:45 -0400 From: Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: Yet another file find utility ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice dot org ++ From: peterDESPAM at DESPAMpmoylan dot org The program 'ffind' is what I use to search for files on my hard drive. You can fetch it from http://www.pmoylan dot org/pages/os2/software.html or from ftp://ftp.pmoylan dot org/software/ffind_1.0.zip or from Hobbes. This is a command-line utility that allows wildcards in specifying the files to search for. The output is a list of files (with full path names, of course) that satisfy the search criterion. Optionally, you can specify that the files must contain a given character string. Example 1: ffind c:\*.prj Example 2: ffind d:\dev*\*\src\progname.* 'fresh fish' The first example searches all of drive C: for files named *.prj. The second example searches all directories matching the pattern d:\dev*\*\src, and all subdirectories of those directories, for files progname.* that contain the character string 'fresh fish'. Source code is included. -- Peter Moylan mailto://peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org -- For a choice in the future of personal computing, Join VOICE - http://www.os2voice dot org [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
