WoIst ~~~~~ (Note: WoIst is German for "WhereIs") Written 1994, 95 by Thomas Ansorge, Dinkelackerring 55, 67435 Neustadt, Germany, EUROPE. "WoIst" consists of the executable WoIst, its locale files, its documentation, and its source code. WoIst is Freeware, meaning that use and copying is free, but all other rights remain at the author, me. DISCLAIMER: WOIST SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE; NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE. ALL USE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY IS ASSUMED. Hardware required: WoIst needs at least Kickstart 2.04/WB 2.1 (locale library!) and a 68000 to run, but could be tested and debugged only on a A4000 with Kickstart 3.1. Be careful with Kickstart less than 3.1. Ok, it's time to tell you what WoIst does. Simple: WoIst is a cli-only tool that looks beginning in the current directory recursively downwards for directory entries matching a given pattern. Template: PATTERN/A,ND=NODIRS/S,NF=NOFILES/S,NO=NAMESONLY/S,SINCE/K,UPTO/K, TIME/K PATTERN: what to look for (#?.c, for example) NODIRS: don't find directories NOFILES: don't find files NAMESONLY: show only the path and name of found dierctory entries and nothing else (like a few statistics) SINCE: find only entries that are not older than a given date (SINCE 01-Apr-95, for example) UPTO: find only entries that are not younger than a given date (UPTO 01-Apr-95, for example) TIME: specify a time for SINCE or UPTO (TIME 12:00:00, for example) If no TIME is given, SINCE assumes 00:00:00 and UPTO assumes 23:59:59. Note that SINCE and UPTO are mutually exclusive; if you specify both, UPTO will be ignored. Greetings to my beta-testers Michael Weber and Stephan Fuhrmann. Have a nice searching! Th. :-})
