RAFF- Rexx File Finder Plus

* * *

RAFF is a simple file finder for the OS/2 command line. Not particularly unique but it can also search inside ZIP archives (i.e., files with *.zip extension). Requires InfoZip for OS/2. RAFF can be run in either interactive or batch mode, and results can be logged to a file. This program is my first (and only) serious foray into the Rexx programming language. Archive searches are slower with the latest version of InfoZip.

DESCRIPTION: Rexx file finder with option to find path/filename string in
             ZIP archives.
USAGE: raff [drv:\path\]filesp [zipstr] [-z|-b|-zb]
 NOTE: -z requires usage: raff [drv:\path\]zipstr -z[b] (see examp.4)

  filesp = filespec (wildcards ok). Recursive search from root dir unless
           filesp preceded with pathname\ or drv:\pathname\

  zipstr = *NON-WILDCARD* filename string to search for in zip file list.
           If zip contains path info, path and/or filename may be matched.
           Requires InfoZip's UNZIP utility.
      -z = Search only ZIPs (-zb = zips only, batchmode)
      -b = Batch mode- no display pausing or redirect to file \FILEFND.TXT
      -? = Display usage (this screen).

 EXAMPLES:
 1. raff *.txt = find all *.txt files, recursed from root; no zip search
 2. raff *.txt .txt = as above but also search in zips for .txt files
 3. raff f:\os2\*.txt .txt -b = as above but recursed from f:\os2, batchmode
 4. raff f:\os2\.txt -zb = as above but zip-only search

WRAP- Wrap piped output.

Wrap is my port to OS/2 of a DOS filter by Phil Wilk. Wrap takes piped command output and wraps long lines at the right margin without breaking words. Long lines become more readable. C source included.
