- What is ssearch?
-
- ssearch does nearly the same as the AmigaDOS's search command does, but
- faster. Example: searching for "foobar" in the C=-Autodocs (plus some other
- Autodocs, 82 files, 1937 KBytes) requires 78 seconds with search and 14
- seconds with ssearch on my machine (A3000/030-25).
-
- ssearch has two additional features compared to search: you can search
- case sensitive, which is even faster than case insensitive, and you can
- switch off printing of file names. The PATTERN and FILE options from search
- are not implemented in ssearch, yet. The output of ssearch is also little
- bit different from search's output.
-
- ssearch's template:
-
- FROM/M,SEARCH/A,ALL/S,NONUM/S,QUIET/S,QUICK/S,CS=CASESENSITIVE/S,NOFILE/S
-
- FROM:
- One or more patterns describing the files in which ssearch should search.
- Any AmigaDOS pattern may be used.
-
- SEARCH:
- The string to search for.
-
- ALL:
- Recursively search in all subdirectories.
-
- NONUM:
- Don't output any line numbers.
-
- QUIET:
- Don't output the line in which the string to search for has been found.
-
- QUICK:
- Try and see :-)!
-
- CASESENSITIVE:
- Normally ssearch doesn't distinct lower and upper case. With this switch,
- the search is case sensitive.
-
- NOFILE:
- Don't ouput any files names.
-
- Examples:
-
- ssearch c:a* l:b* t:test searchme CS QUICK
- ssearch c:(a|b|c)* searchme NONUM
