| FIND (Find Files) Command |
| Purpose |
This command searches all directories on all drives for files matching the given filespec. If you enter a drive number, FIND will only look on that particular drive. |
|
| Syntax | FIND [d:]fname[.ext] |
|
| Type | External — on device CAR: |
|
| Related | DIR |
|
| Remarks |
FIND will quickly find a file anywhere on your drives. This becomes very useful when you start using subdirectories and multiple drives.
FIND works like WHEREIS.COM (from SpartaDOS Tool Kit) with a few exceptions. FIND's search is slightly different and it does not have a parameter to display filesize, time, and date, for each file found.
The filename may include wildcards as desired. All filename matches found will be displayed with the full path from the root directory to the filename match. The number of matches found will be displayed at the end of the search. All drives will be searched unless a drive number is specified. FIND will also find and display hidden filenames. |
