- -----FIND.COM-----
- by Ward Christensen
-
- OVERVIEW:
- Finds ASCII, upper case character strings in a file.
- May take a generic file name, thus may search all .ASM files
- on a disk. Also very useful for finding things in MAST.CAT -
- for example if you have multiple VDM routines: VDMSCROL.ASM,
- PRINTVDM.ASM, etc you could FIND MAST.CAT VDM to see them all.
-
- USAGE:
-
- find b:*.asm alpha
-
- will find all occurrences of ALPHA in all .ASM files on B:.
- Used with LIST.COM which takes a starting line number,
- you can: 1) use find to find a particular part of the code,
- then 2) use LIST specifying a starting line number just before
- the part of the code you wanted to see.
-
- DEPENDENCIES:
- Note that FIND is a quickie program - it gets the label
- to search for from the second FCB so you can't put some
- special characters in the ASCII string. I.E.
-
- find b:*.asm in.to
-
- would find IN (since .to would be put as the filetype).
