- FFIND (C) 1989 C.C. Thompson (Compuserve 76367,106)
- DESCRIPTION
-
- FFIND is a file finder program much like FF found in the Norton
- Utilities Advanced Edition.
-
- FFIND can be used to find all files on a drive matching a
- particular filespec. Wildcard file specifications are fully
- supported.
-
- FFIND is very helpful when you may have 'lost' a file, or
- when you'd like to determine whether you may have files with
- duplicate names scattered across your disk.
-
- The output of FFIND can be redirected to a device or printer
- (e.g. LPT1: or fname.ext)
-
- Execution can be terminated at any time by hitting the Esc
- (Escape) key, Ctrl-Break, or Ctrl-C.
-
-
- USAGE
-
-
- FFIND [d:] [filespec] [switches]
-
- [d:] is the drive to search; if this is not
- specified, the default drive is used
-
- [filespec] is optional; if omitted, *.* is used
-
- SWITCHES:
-
- /W Wide format
-
- if /W is specified, file sizes and dates are omitted,
- and only the file names are listed in a 5 file per
- line format.
-
-
- /O Omit directories
-
- This can be especially useful when using a filespec of
- *. or *.* . It produces a more compact listing when
- you are interested only in files, and not
- subdirectories, which happen to match the filespec.
-
-
- /P Pause Mode
-
- Pauses and prompts for a keypress after each page
- of output.
-
- Whether or not the /P option is specified FFIND
- output can be interrupted at any time by pressing any
- key.
-
- /H Help
-
- Produces a screen explaining FFIND syntax
