SEARCH.TXT -- explanation out of the file SEARCH.ASM for the SEARCH.BIN
file, by BOWEN MOURSUND (BOWEN).
SEARCH.BIN uses DOS' find first and find next functions for getting info
about files matching a wildcard specification and possibly an attribute mask.
Can be called with up to six parameters, or at least two. The first
parameter is necessary to indicate the search mode; either to
find the first file (indicated by a 1) or to find subsequent files (indicated
by anything other than a 1). The second parameter is a filename or wild card
string.
parameter 1: Call type (1 for first call).
parameter 2: Wildcard specification.
parameter 3: Attribute mask. (Optional)
parameter 4: Receives file date.
parameter 5: Receives file time.
parameter 6: Receives file size.
Example: . LOAD Search
. ? CALL("Search",1,"*.dbf ") && Two parms.
0
. fspec = "SQLHOME\*.* "
. fattr = "D " && Include directories!
. fdate = " / / " && Avoid bug.
. ftime = " : : "
. fsize = 0
. CALL Search WITH 1,fspec,fattr,fdate,ftime,fsize
. ? fspec,fsize
