After a search is completed, any files located matching the "FileName" parameter are listed numerically. Up to ten files are listed per page of results. If more than ten files are found meeting the search criteria, they are numbered and listed in the order they are found. Pressing the "Enter" key will display each successive set of ten until the list is exhausted.
This utility is much like [dir *.txt /s] without the clutter.
ff FileName, Directory, Option
FileName | string | Name of file to perform search on. May be filename only or a filename spec with wildcards. (example: *.txt or c:\apps\*.txt) | N/A | N/A | Y |
Directory | string | Directory to search in. May be with or without a trailing backslash. If no directory is entered, ff defaults to the current working directory and it's subdirectories. | N/A | Search current directory and it's subdirectories | N |
Option | string | /N is the only option available. The /N option tells ff not to recurse into subdirectories. by default, this option is off. (Default is to search the working directory and it's subdirectories) | N/A | Search current directory and it's subdirectories | N |
