- FF (File Find)
-
-
- Description: Searches either all drives or selected drives and finds and
- displays all files and directories whose names match the
- (filespec) you specify.
-
- Syntax: Version 3.0: FF [(drive:)...] [(filespec)] [/P] [/W]
-
- Version 3.1, 4.0, 4.5: FF [(drive:)][(filespec)]
- [(drive:)]...] [/A] [/P] [/W]
-
- Parameters:
-
- (drive:) The single-letter specifier (A:, B:, C:, etc.) for the drive
- or drives you want to search. Follow each letter with a colon.
- The current drive is the default.
-
- (filespec) The name of the file for which you want to search. If you do
- not specify (filespec), FF lists all files and directories on
- the specified drive or drives; the default is *.*. If you
- specify one or more (drive:) values after (filespec), FF also
- searches those drives for (filespec).
-
-
-
- /A Searches all drives. If a drive can't be accessed, FF skips it
- and does not display an error message.

- screenful of information, and you must press a key to see each
- subsequent screenful.

- the Enter key to scroll up one line at a time. Press
- any key other than Spacebar, Enter, or Escape to
- exit pause mode. You can also enter pause mode
- during normal display by pressing any key other than
- Escape. Use the Escape (ESC) key to stop execution.
