Bob:
What type of files are they? Plain text? I have developed some programs to parse the contents of files into a temporary R:BASE table and then search for certain situations. This could easily be adapted to your needs I do believe. Let us know. Thanks - Mike Ramsour _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 10:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - Searching for file contents In Windows you can search for a specific text string in all files for a folder(s). DOS has a similar FIND command. I need to be able to execute this function from within Rbase. Say there are 100 files in a folder and I need to find the one that has "ST*856*123" in it. I can ZIP a FIND command, output the results to a text file, load the text file into Rbase and then parse the temp table to see if the string was found. Any better ideas on how to accomplish this?
