FSEARCH without /T

[David Marcus]

Version 32.10. If I do "fsearch /s *.pas", it displays the first line of every matching file. I get the same if I do "fsearch /s /t *.pas". Is this WAD? If I include /B, I get just the files (which is what I want), but also lose the summary line.

Even with /B, and without /T and /E, it's looking inside every matching file. Perhaps that's why it's slower than FFIND. Maybe, if neither /T nor /E are specified, or /B is specified, it shouldn't look inside files. Returning the first line doesn't seem very useful. It won't be a "modern replacement for FFIND" if it can't be told to just find matching file names.

And output filenames have an extra '\'.

Yes, that's WAD. FSEARCH is not a file finder (use DIR or PDIR for that); it searches for text. In every matching file. If you don't provide a search string, it will end up matching everything in the file.

"dir /s /b" works as a file finder.
