- Finder v1.0 File Finder

- Finder is a simple utility that can help you locate a file that contains
- a particular combination of words or phrases. You can specify up to three
- phrases to look for, and Finder will search all the files in a folder
- looking for one which contains any or all of the phrases.
-
- Finder is pretty straightforward to operate. It runs as an ACC or PRG on
- any ST or TT in any resolution. When the dialog appears, enter up to three
- strings to search for. You can search for strings containing any character
- except a null; to enter a non-ASCII character in a string, hold down the
- Alt key and type in three decimal digits on the numeric keypad. Click the
- buttons to choose if you want to find all the strings or any one of them,
- and whether you want the search to be case sensitive or not. You can use
- the file selector to locate the folder to search, or type in a path in the
- space provided. (Note: all the buttons on the main screen can be selected
- by pressing Alt and typing the first character; e.g., Alt-C selects the
- Case Sensitive button, Alt-S selects Search, etc.) When you click the
- Search button, Finder will try to find a file containing your phrases. If
- the search is successful, Finder will tell you where in the file each
- phrase was found, and will display part of the file surrounding the phrase.
- You may cancel the search at any time by pressing the Undo key.
-
- Finder is really a preliminary version of a more robust utility, sort of
- a feasibility study. It doesn't look like I'll get around to the enhanced
- version soon, so I thought I'd distribute this limited version for the time
- being. I hope it proves useful to you!
