FIN - Find String in Files ========================== Users' Guide ============ FIN is a small program that will search a given set of files for a particular string, producing a report of all occurrences of the string. The command format is :- FIN Output-filespec=Input-filespec/SE:string The string specified must match the one required in terms of upper/lower case, and may not contain things like spaces or colons (which CSI will object to). FIN is only a very simple (and quick) method of file searching. A far more comprehensive method, allowing multiple input file specifications and multiple search strings, exists as the MUN program SEARCH. SEARCH is however much slower than FIN, and should only be used when detail is required. FIN may produce the following error messages:- 1. FIN - I/O ERROR ON @ FILE You specified an indirect command file on the command line, but FIN encountered an error when reading the commandfile. 2. FIN - OPEN ERROR ON @ FILE You specified an indirect command file on the command line, but FIN cannot access the commandfile. 3. FIN - MAX @ FILE DEPTH EXCEEDED You had more than one level of indirection in your command files - which is illegal. 4. FIN - SYNTAX ERROR FOR @ FILE You specified an @ on the commandline, but the following filename had a syntax error. 5. FIN - UNKNOWN COMMAND ERROR FIN encountered a command error that it could not diagnose further. 6. FIN - SYNTAX ERROR The commandline to FIN contained a syntax error.
