It matches input character strings to the text in one or more files. The search can cover a complete disk drive or diskette, a directory with sub-directories, or a single directory. The output gives complete path names of all files for which a match is found. The paragraphs containing the match can be viewed. Matching can be on the basis of a complete input phrase, the words in the phrase scattered throughout the file, or the same words "near" each other.

FINDER by Art Collins of Sacramento, California based FREDDY FILE
FINDER helps if:
- You are up against a deadline and need a critical file to complete the job, but can't remember what you called it, or where it is.
- Data base research requires tabulation of all the files on a disk drive or in a group of directories, which contain a specific phrase or word, such as the customer or project name.
- The names or locations of files on a disk drive are unknown, due to unavailability of a key employee, or because the data base is ten years old.
Disk drives are getting larger and larger. They can now contain 1000s of files in 100s of directories. If strict records of files and directories are not kept, it is easy to "lose" files. Locating them by content can be virtually impossible.
FREDDY FILE FINDER finds those "lost" files with a single command. The program is user friendly, and input is simple yet effective. FREDDY FILE FINDER finds your files and outputs the complete file paths to an output file for easy reference now and in the future.
