Short: Matches strings in ANY text file (X-platform) Match V2.1 Short: Fast utility that matches strings in ANY text file (X-platform). Author: nompelis@vax2.winona.msus.edu (Ioannis Nobelis) Uploader: melody@compulink.gr (Alexis Katsadorakis) Type: util/cli Version 2.1 Bug Fix (I didn't know but there was one) Replaces: util/sys/MatchV2.0.lha Match is like the C:search which comes with AmigaDOS, it is utility that searches for strings in any infinetly long text file. Displays the line matching the string and the line number in front of it. Also, the number of lines that matched the string. Sometime in the past c:search failed to match a string in a long file for some reason. Match was written so that it never fails matching strings in infinetly long files with a maximum line size 255 characters. Match is NOT case sensitive. Usage: match [filename] [string] or match [filename] [string] > [output_file] Read the little doc for more information on usage Source is included and with some modification it will be compiled under GNU. 2.1 Update: Thanks to melody@compulink.gr I fixed the stupid bug. I also compiled the 2.1 and 2.0 under some un!x machines. I included the binaries: match-SunOS (for SunOS Solaris) match-HP-UX (for the famous amoung engineers HP UX 9000/715) match-Linux (for my favourite, most rapidly growing un!x close OS) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 10420 6672 35.9% 28-Oct-95 06:36:26 match 20480 4906 76.0% 28-Oct-95 06:38:52 match-HP-UX 5101 2257 55.7% 28-Oct-95 06:38:04 match-Linux 8688 3414 60.7% 28-Oct-95 06:38:22 match-SunOS 1077 599 44.3% 28-Oct-95 06:37:30 MatchDoc.displayme 1174 514 56.2% 28-Oct-95 06:50:56 MatchV2.1.c 1404 752 46.4% 28-Oct-95 06:47:28 MatchV2.1.readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 48344 19114 60.4% 13-Apr-97 01:39:52 7 files
