Short: Smashing replacement for FDB Author: s6357@fb1.fhtw-berlin.de (Carsten Orthbandt) Uploader: s6357 fb1 fhtw-berlin de (Carsten Orthbandt) Type: util/cli Architecture: m68k-amigaos NAME FDB2 1.3 - FDB replacement SYNOPSIS FDB2 P=PATTERN/A,DBD=DBASEDIR/K,MPATH/K,E=EXACT/S, CS=CASESENSITIVE/S,D=DIRS/S,F=FILES/S,O=ONCE/S,ALLDBS/S, NH=NOHEAD/S,NP=NOPATH/S,PG=PAGES/S,SETENV/S,DB=DATABASE/K DESCRIPTION FDB2 is a full replacement for FDB. If you donīt know what FDB does, read the docs. OPTIONS PATTERN This is a standard AmigaDOS search pattern. It determines what FDB will search for. DBASEDIR Selects the directory where databases reside in. Default is "DEVS:". MPATH If a path is given with this option, only files with a matching path will be displayed. This pattern is expected to be "EXACT". If you want all files in "Work:Tools/" you should type MPATH "Work:Tools/#?". Default is "#?". EXACT Show only exact matches of the given pattern. If EXACT is not specified, the pattern parameter "adospattern" is expanded to "#?adospattern#?" so it matches entries that contain the given pattern. Default is OFF. CASESENSITIVE If specified, search is case sensitive, otherwise not. Default is OFF. DIRS Show only matching directory names. Default is OFF. FILES Show only matching file names. Specifying both FILES and DIRS ends up in displaying all. Default is OFF. ONCE Show only first match, stop afterwards. Default is OFF. ALLDBS Take all files in DBASEDIR ending with ".codes" and use them as databases for searching. This option overrides the DATABASE option. Default is OFF. NOHEAD Donīt show any headers. Default is OFF. NOPATH Donīt show paths of matching entries. This does not apply do found directories. Default is OFF. PAGES This simply does nothing. It is only for compatibility with FDB. SETENV Use the current options as defaults and store them in "ENV:FDB2.prefs". Default is OFF. DATABASE Defines the database that will be searched. Databases have to be placed in the DBASEDIR. The standard suffix ".codes" is required. But you donīt have to type it. Default is "find.codes".
