SEARCH.TXT -- explanation out of the file SEARCH.ASM for the SEARCH.BIN file, by Roland Bourcherau (Borland Technical Support). SEARCH.BIN uses DOS' find first and find next functions for getting info about files matching a wildcard specification and possibly an attribute mask. Can be called with up to six parameters, or at least two. The first parameter is necessary to indicate the search mode; either to find the first file (indicated by a 1) or to find subsequent files (indicated by anything other than a 1). The second parameter is a filename or wild card string. parameter 1: Call type (1 for first call). parameter 2: Wildcard specification. parameter 3: Attribute mask. (Optional) parameter 4: Receives file date. parameter 5: Receives file time. parameter 6: Receives file size. Example: . LOAD Search . ? CALL("Search",1,"*.dbf ") && Two parms. 0 . fspec = "SQLHOME\*.* " . fattr = "D " && Include directories! . fdate = " / / " && Avoid bug. . ftime = " : : " . fsize = 0 . CALL Search WITH 1,fspec,fattr,fdate,ftime,fsize . ? fspec,fsize SQLDBASE.STR 194
