[Dx4win] External Data Lookup

Wed, 1 Jan 2003 11:21:07 -0600

Roger,

I had to look back thru my old emails as I had the same problem.  Here is
what I am doing to use FGREP.

I have placed in the executable program blank on the EXT DATA tab of the
preferences - "C:\PROGRA~1\QSLMGR\QSL.BAT", without the quotes.  Of course,
you'll have to set up your paths to wherever FGREP and your data is.  I have
the files I want to lookup, FGREP, & the batch file all in c:\program
files\qslmgr.

QSL.BAT is the following batch file:

FGREP -m %1 @QSL.LST > manager.res

where QSL.LST is a text file with a list of files FGREP searches.

I'll be the first to admit I don't understand how this works but it does and
I'm the guy that came up with using FGREP in the first place!

73 & GL,

Alan  N5NA
