Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     File menu, Find command
 
     Choose Find to search for a specific file or a pattern of files on
     disk.
 
     The Find File dialog box provides the following options to specify
     and control the search:
 
     File Pattern
          Type the name of a file to find, or use a wildcard to specify
          a group of files with similar names or extensions.
 
     Recursive Search From
          Turn on to search the directory tree under the directory
          specified in the text box. The default recursive search
          begins with the current directory and is specified by a
          period (.).
 
     Path Search Along
          Turn on to search the directories specified in an environment
          variable. The default path is the PATH environment variable,
          specified as $(PATH).
          See: ◄Environment-Variable Specifiers►
 
     Choose the Find button to search the disk for the specified file
     or pattern. As PWB finds files that match the pattern or the name
     you specified, it adds each file to the File List box. When the
     search is complete, you can open a file from the list, or you can
     close the dialog box without opening a new file.
 
     To open a file in the list of files:
 
       ■  Select the file in the File List box and choose OK.
 
     To close the dialog box without opening a file:
 
       ■  Choose Cancel.
 
     PWB retains the list of files, starting directory, and path for
     the rest of the PWB session or until you perform another file
     search. You can return to the dialog box at any time and open a
     file in the list.
