FI (File Info)
Description: Either saves comments about files or lists specified
directories and the file comments you saved previously by
using this command. FI saves comments about files in a file
named FILEINFO.FI in each specified directory. If FILEINFO.FI
does not exist, FI creates it.
Syntax: Version 4.0: FI [(drive:)][(path)][(filespec)] [(comment)]
[/C] [/D] [/E] [/L] [/N] [/P] [/PACK] [/S]
Version 4.5: FI [(drive:)][(path)][(filespec)] [(comment)]
[/C] [/D] [/E] [/L] [/P] [/PACK] [/S]
Parameters:
(drive:) The single-letter specifier (A:, B:, C:, etc.) for the drive
you want to use. Follow the letter with a colon. The current
drive is the default.
(path) The full name (C:\WP\LETTERS) of the directory you want to
process. The current directory for the designated drive is the
default.
(filespec) The name of the file whose FILEINFO.FI file entry you want to
update or list.
(comment) The comment you want to save with the specified files. The
comment need not be enclosed in quotes and can be a maximum of
65 characters long.
/C Lists only those files that have comments.
/D Deletes comments from the specified files.
/E Lets you change or enter a comment in an edit window. You can
use WordStar-compatible editing commands within the one-line
edit window.
/L Displays the entire 65-character comment for each file. If you
include this switch, FI does not display the size, the date
stamp, and the time stamp of each file. If you omit /L, FI
displays the file size, the date stamp, the time stamp, and
the first 36 characters of each stored comment.
/N Use this switch with the /E switch if your machine is not
fully IBM-compatible.
/P Displays the results in pause mode: You initially see one
screenful of information, and you must press the Spacebar to
see the next screenful. Press Enter 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.
/PACK Compresses deleted (flagged but not removed) entries from the
FILEINFO.FI file.
/S Processes all files in all subdirectories under the current or
specified path.
Example: To add the comment Document'' to all DOC files in the WP\DOC
directory and its subdirectories and to display the results in
pause mode.
Enter: FI \wp\doc\.DOC Document /P /S
