SRD - Sort Directory Utility SRD is used to produce a directory listing in alphabetical order, by name or by name and extension. It may either be used to just produce a listing or it may be used to sort the directory information permanantly(until new entries are made). Further HELP may be obtained by typing HELP $SRD keyword where keywords are as follows. COMMANDLINE The SRD Command Line LIST Getting a fast directory listing SORT Alphabetizing your user directory SELECT Performing selective searches DATE Search for files by date 1 COMMANDLINE SRD uses the standard RSX command line, outfile = DEV:[UIC]/Sw Where no outfile is specified SRD defaults to TI:, the user's terminal. Outfile may also be a disk filename(eg. DIR.LST). DEV is the device on which the directory exists. If omitted SRD defaults to the user's SY:. TI: = DK3:/LI and DK3:/LI both produce a listing of the User's UFD (User File Directory) on DK3:. A listing file produced by SRD may be edited (EDI) for use as a command file. 1 LIST A UFD may be listed alphabetically listed using two switches /LI A short listing( like /BR in PIP) /FU:n A full listing. The :n is optional and if specified is the width the listing is to be(i.e. /FU:80.) 1 SORT A UFD may be permantly sorted alphabetically(or at least until more files are added) by use of the /WB switch(Write Back). example: DK3:/WB will alphabetically sort the user's directory on DK3: 1 SELECT There are cases in which the user would like to have only part of his directory listed. For example all files beginning with 'B', or having the first three letters 'TSK', or having a '.BAS' extension. This may be done using the /SE switch. The format is /SE:xyz where xyz is any character string to search for. Wildcards (*) may be used to specify any name,extension, or version as a match. In addition the '?' may be used to indicate that any single character found in the specified position is a match. /SE:HEL???.CMD would list both HELBLD.CMD and HELASM.CMD. 1 DATE SRD may be used to list only those files produced on a given date, after a given date, or before a given date. /DA list all files produced today /DA:DD-MMM-YY list all files created on DD-MMM-YY(14-JAN-78) /AF:DD-MMM-YY list all files created after DD-MMM-YY. /BE:DD-MMM-YY list all files created before DD-MM-YY.
