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
