- ARCF Find Text in ARC Files. Version 1.0 - Oct 8, 1987
-
-
-
-
- Purpose: To search files in ARC archive files for text strings.
-
-
- Format: ARCF [d:][path]filename[.ARC] [filespecs...] "text"
- [/B] [/C] [/F] [/Q] [/S] [/W]
-
-
- Usage: The d:path\filename and "text" parameters are required.
- The drive and path are optional. The 'filename' and
- 'filespec' parameters may contain the wildcard characters *
- and ?. All files matching the 'filespec' specification
- within the 'filename' are processed.
-
- If the 'filename' extension is omitted, the extension .ARC
- is used.
-
- The 'text' search criteria must begin and end with a
- | double quote character, e.g. ARCF TEST.ARC "SOMETHING".
-
- The optional switch (/x) characters must be the last
- operands, e.g. ARCF TEST "april 1" /c/w.
-
- Normally, you would only want to search "text" files for
- strings. Text files consist of ASCII record. Each record
- ends in a carriage control (CR) character. The maximum
- record length is 4096 bytes. To search all files, binary
- | and text, use the /B option. A maximum of 80 characters
- | is display when text is found in a record. If /B is used,
- | all control characters and hi-ASCII (greater than 127)
- | characters are blanked out.
