- Hi, Rahul
-
- Here are my changes to stuff as promised. A bit late, but I have had some
- busy last weeks (the changes to stuff took about 1 afternoon spread out
- over three days). The thing I changed was that all positif masks are seen
- with logical or's between them and negatif ones still as with logical and's
- between them. This means that you can now say:
-
- > stuff . -name *.c -name *.h ! -name std*
-
- to get all source and header files that do not begin with 'std'. In stead
- of getting nothing because no file can both end in '.c' and in '.h'.
-
- I added the ',' command which now means a repeat of the previous option:
-
- > stuff . -name *.c , *.h
-
- This works with all options.
-
- And I added the option '-response filename' which takes the contents of
- the file and processes it as options (the file should be < 32 Kbytes):
-
- > stuff \ -newer datefile -response exclude.cc , exclude.log
-
- where the files are:
- -- exclude.cc --
- ! -name *.bak , *.obj , *.exe
- ! -name *.lib , *.map
- -- exclude.log --
- ! -name *.log , logging , /tmp/*
- ----
-
- I changed the maximum number of options to 50. Nested response files are
- not permitted as is the negation of the response option. For the response
- option I added the file response.c. The changes are in the appended
- shar'chive, If you want my full sources, mail me. I hope you like and
- approve the changes I made (You should re-edit the give-help function I
- think) and I see forward to a new release of stuff. When does zoo know how
- to do carriage return - newline translation ?
-
- Have fun, Andre van Dalen.
