File

Menus

   Open


File Finder

The File Finder window can be accessed by clicking 'File|Open|File Finder...' from the main menu, or by clicking the File Finder button on the toolbar.

The File Finder window allows you to find all of the files on a given disk drive which match any filespec you provide.  For example, choosing Drive C from the Drives List and entering the filespec "a*.bat" (without the quotes) will return your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, along with any other files on Drive C which match this filespec.  (To initiate the search, click the 'Search' button.)  All matching files will be listed in the Results List on the right hand side of the window.  The more specific you make the filespec, the shorter your Results List is likely to be.

The directories being searched and the number of files matching your filespec are displayed at the bottom of the File Finder window.


Text Tracker

The Text Tracker window can be accessed by clicking 'File|Open|Text Tracker...' or by clicking the Text Tracker button on the toolbar.

The Text Tracker window allows you to search through all files matching a specified filespec, for any text string you wish.  When a match is found, the text in which the match resides is displayed in the box on the right hand side of the window.  The file name in which the match was found will be displayed in bold type immediately above this box.

When conducting a text search, you must choose a drive and a directory from which to begin your search.  You may then choose to include sub-directories in your search by checking the Subdirectories checkbox.  You may also choose to do a case-sensitive search by clicking the Case-Sensitive checkbox.  To initiate your search, click the 'Search' button.

Also displayed in the Text Tracker window is the name of the file currently being searched, the approximate offset (within 100 bytes) at which the matching text was found within the last matching file, and a percent complete bar.
