- GO ver 2.1 By Kenneth E. Sandquist Jr.
- Vision Software January 05, 1992
-
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Go was written for obvious reasons! I have a 130 meg harddrive and
- trying to keep up with where all my directories have gone to is tedious to
- say the least! So along came GO. GO will allow you to locate the occurrence
- of any directory on your drive(s) and, if you specify, drop you into that
- directory.
-
- It's that simple.
-
- Usage: GO [parameter]{d:}DirName
- Where parameter:
- no parameter = find the first occurrence of DirName and change
- to that directory.
- -ad= find ALL occurrences of DirName on default
- drive ONLY and ask which directory to change to.
- -af= find ALL occurrences of DirName on ALL drives
- and ask which directory to change to (including
- floppies).
- -df= find All occurrences of DirName on default drive
- and floppies ONLY.
- -a = find ALL occurrences of DirName on ALL drives
- and ask which directory to change to.
- -d = search default drive ONLY for first occurrence
- of DirName and change to that directory.
- -f = search ALL drives for first occurrence of
- DirName and change to that directory.
- (including floppies)
- -1 = search one directory level on ALL drives for
- DirName and ask which directory to change to.
- -2 = search two directory levels on ALL drives for
- DirName and ask which directory to change to.
- .
- .
- .
- -9 = search nine directory levels on ALL drives for
- DirName and ask which directory to change to.
- d: = drive on which to search for DirName.
-
- NOTE:
- A directory level is the number of branches off of the root directory.
-
- Example:
-
- GO -3 TEMP
-
- Will search 3 directory levels (branches) on ALL drives for every
- occurrence of the directory 'TEMP' and prompt you for the directory you want
- to change to.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Likewise:
-
- GO -3 TE*
-
- Will search 3 directory levels on ALL drives for every occurence of
- directories beginning with the letters 'TE' and prompt you for the directory
- you want to change to.
-
- GO will also give you a "Second Chance"(TM) to search for the NEXT occurrence
- of DirName. Example:
-
- If you tell GO to find the first occurence of the TEMP directory:
- GO TEMP
- and you find that it is not the particular TEMP directory you wanted,
- you can type the same command line - GO TEMP - and GO will search for
- the NEXT directory matching TEMP.
-
- NOTE:
- The "Second Chance"(TM) is limited to just that - a second time. Typing the
- same command line more than twice will just loop you through the first two
- matches!
-
- That's it!
-
- If you make a mistake, you can interrupt the search by hitting <CTRL> - C
- during the search. The program will drop back to where you started.
