FIND template

[JosDuchIt]

I just discovered today that Find 53.1 has a CLI template .
The Doshelp does not yet provide an explanation though
I recall(?) having looked for a template before , don't know when that was last tile and hope it is not a fake recall, but this a big thing to me
It has lots of possibilities the gui doesn't have.
It seems to work as expecting but
- i did not succced in using WITHIN and BETWEEN keywords correctly

also this result was strange

CASENAME is a SWITCH (CASENAME/S), try 'find NAME MP CASENAME'
example:
#find NAME da

Thanks javier.


I remember now that i have looked at this 3 years ago, even started to make gui for it.

As i took this up again i ran into the problem that stopped me/

The LFORMAT option did not work and it still does not here.
Does it for you ?

News on this anybody? ?

Seems some %_ LFORMAT options work:
#find NAME #?.ct lformat="FOUND=%l"
#find NAME #?.ct lformat="FOUND=%f"
Didn't try every option/possibility (looking on LIST help documentation)

@javier

thanks, it appears that find is allergic to capitals %P%N etc which list accepts.

I was convinced this was the preferred way as the only available doc (from list.doc) uses capitals.in the description of available
LFORMAT options.
I should have asked the question 3 years ago
