This is a find command for cp/m written for z88dk tool chain.
To build, copy the repo to your linux machine, (or possibly cygwin).
and type make
.
Other make commands are, make justify
(indent code) make install
(put code in /var/www/html) make clean
(clear stuff out)
make scope
(set up cscope) make check
(generate check sum).
To build for 8085 CPU use make find85
. The resulting binary will be named FIND85.COM
, which can be renamed as desired before use.
You will likely need to edit the Makefile to correct the install path etc.
To enable tracing set -DDEBUG in the Makefile.
With the latest push, the command processing has been worked on extensively, and new commands have been added.
-d[rive] <drive letter> The expected value is A->P, do not add the ':'.
-u[ser] <user number> The expected value is a number between 0 and 15.
-a[lluser] No expected value. Set search for all user spaces.
-o[utput] <log file> The expected value is a file name for the log.
-n[ame] <search string> The expected value is a CP/M file name or wildcard.
. Search all drives, expects no value
-h[elp] Print a helpful message, expects no value.
I should point out that user does not permanently change the user number, unless find crashes somehow. So if find gets a gross error, you my need to say c:user 0 or somesuch.
Find assumes user 0 unless told otherwise. This can be an issue for say user 4. A find to locate user 4 files started as user 4 will find files for user 0 unless you specify user 4 in your command.
Usage:
C>find . -name *.c
C0:FIND .C
C0:CHARIO .C
C0:HELLO .C
G0:HELLO .C
G0:FIND .C
H0:RM .C
H0:HELLO .C
H0:TAIL .C
H0:WILDEXP .C
I0:HELLO .C
I0:RM .C
I0:TAIL .C
I0:WILDEXP .C
Running find to collect all the file names on the machine, including network mounted drives (if they exist). In this example, I truncated the list, I have quite a few files on my drives.
C>find .
A0:CCP .SPR
A0:CPM3NET .HLP
A0:CPM2NET .HLP
A0:CPNET3 .HLP
A0:CPNET12 .HLP
A0:HELP .HLP
B0:ASM .COM
................
J0:RTCNTP .COM
J0:RUNMICRO.COM
J0:XEQ .COM
J0:ENDLIST .COM
Here is a practical example of use. Find all the file names, then count them. There is a limit to the number of file names that can be buffered for the log file. Due to cp/m's peculier (primitive) file system, one needs to be very careful of when and where to write log files, and scan directories for names. I think a real top end is about 1200 to 1400 names. After that expect to run out of memory.
C>find . -o c:log.log
C>wc c:log.log
19072 3768 1192 C:LOG.LOG
The future of find is to expand it to exec a worker program to do a few tasks on the file names. I.e. find . -name *.c -exec jump around {} ;
Where -exec can run any program (that fits in ram) and feed it file names.
