QUICK OVERVIEW ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Tired of slow text search tools which pretend to be fast? Want something real faaast? Try FlashFind. It searches through a 2.5MB text on hard disc in 20 seconds on a plain 68000er!!! For comparison c:search is about 20 times slower. FlashFind uses a highly optimised, assembler coded Boyer-Moore search algorithm. Additional speed is gained by using asynchron IO. HISTORY ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1.1 o FlashFind now first checks if the file really is a text file (but also can be forced to search all files with BIN switch) o now gives the filename where a problem appears o if an error occurs in a file FlashFind prints the error message and continues with the next file (instead of quiting as in 1.0) o line numbering possible through NUM switch. Too many asked for this :-) o INVERT switch to show all lines that do not match o VERBOSE switch to see which files are processed o MAXHIT to limit the number of matching lines o favourite options can be put into environment variable `FlashFind.prefs' o possible to use CTRL-D to skipp to next file
