[For the Pac-Man]


This is a small shell script I wrote and use quite often on my IBM-AT 
running MS-DOS 3.1. It does a search of one or more source files in
the current directory path for a given one word string, much like
the VMS search does.

For example, you may want to search a file called "Sample.c" for the 
string "getchar" :

	C> search sample.c getchar


A much better example is to search all of your source files for a particular
string, using wildcard expansion for the filename or the extension.

For example, you may want to search all files ending in ".c" for the string
"getchar" :

	C> search *.c getchar

I have the output directed to a file called "s.fnd" in my "\bin" directory,
and then to the screen.  That way, if I miss something, I can easily type
out all the found strings again, without having to do the actual search again.

This script may be copied, modified, etc., without my permission.

To use, remove all text to and including the --Cut Here-- lines, and save
into a file called SEARCH.BAT.  Then place it into a directory where your
system path can find it, i.e., "\bin".
