;;;;; Building a database of files ;;;;;;;;;
-;;
+;;
;; You can create a simple files database with a port of the Unix find command
;; and one of the various Windows NT various scheduling utilities,
;; for example the AT command from the NT Resource Kit, WinCron which is
;;
;; To set up a function which searches the files database, do something
;; like this:
-;;
+;;
;; (defvar locate-fcodes-file "c:/users/peter/fcodes")
;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
-;;
+;;
;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
;; (list "grep" "-i" arg locate-fcodes-file))
;;
;;;;;;;; ADVICE For dired-make-relative: ;;;;;;;;;
-;;
+;;
;; For certain dired commands to work right, you should also include the
;; following in your _emacs/.emacs:
-;;
+;;
;; (defadvice dired-make-relative (before set-no-error activate)
;; "For locate mode and Windows, don't return errors"
;; (if (and (eq major-mode 'locate-mode)
;; user specified command.
;;
;; To use the BSD-style "fast find", or any other shell command of the
-;; form
+;; form
;;
;; SHELLPROGRAM Name-to-find
;;
;; set the variable `locate-command' in your .emacs file.
;;
-;; To use a more complicated expression, create a function which
+;; To use a more complicated expression, create a function which
;; takes a string (the name to find) as input and returns a list.
;; The first element should be the command to be executed, the remaining
;; elements should be the arguments (including the name to find). Then put
;;
-;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line)
+;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line)
;;
;; in your .emacs, using the name of your function in place of
;; my-locate-command-line.
;; Locate-mode assumes that each line output from the locate-command
;; consists exactly of a file name, possibly preceded or trailed by
;; whitespace. If your file database has other information on the line (for
-;; example, the file size), you will need to redefine the function
