Give some specifications so we can get an idea what it does. I personally don't like to test a program without knowing what it's supposed to do. ***** search program - everett - 11-27-2005 for files but i am editing it to include data and i will need help as it can only search any file which can be opened by a text etidor if you could give me a hand i would apreceat it search program - whitetiger0990 - 11-27-2005 well... why don't you post a nice link to it? Perferably with source code. Then maybe we'll test it =p there's some free upload hosting thingy at http://fileanchor.com search program - everett - 11-27-2005 http://fileanchor.com/11318-d search program - tannervp - 11-27-2005 it's ok... I got an error(it is a version of the Run command on my computer... :-?:-? search program - Moneo - 11-27-2005 Quote:for files but i am editing it to include data and i will need helpI wrote my own utility programs for searching files and for searching for text within files. Why did I write these? Well at the time, about 12 years ago) the best utilities for these searches were part of Norton Utilities. I used Norton a lot, and found that there were a bunch of things that I wanted to do that Norton did not have. So, I wrote my own utilities. Today, DIR is just about as good a file searcher as the Norton FS program was. If your file search program does not do at least what DIR does, and at least some additional feature that you often need, than I suggest that you're wasting your time. Pretty much the same holds true for text searching. Norton's TS would search any file, binary or text. Again, if your program is not going to better than Norton's, or mine, then why bother, since it's a lot of hard work. When I wrote my enhanced version, I decided to write one for any file (!TS), and one for text only (!TSA). Here's the "readme" description on these utilities: Code: !TS - Text Search on multiple files and subdirectories, search program - everett - 11-27-2005 well what is wrong with it http://fileanchor.com/11319-d code is there search program - tannervp - 11-27-2005 I get a "file creation error" search program - Moneo - 11-27-2005 Quote:well what is wrong with itThe SEARCH.BAS file is a tokenized (binary) QBasic file, not an ASCII file. I use QuickBasic not QBasic, so I can't read it. Unless you have documentation comments at the top of the program, please don't expect me to get into your program to see what it does and how it does it. In a previous post I asked you for some specifications. If you want my help, you have to do what I request. ***** |
