[Dx4win] FGREP

[J.F. Samuels]

Dear Roger,

 

At some point (DX4WIN Ver 6.04?) FGREP stopped working.  I searched around
and came up with a more modern search program.  Here is the bat file I call
QSL.CMD (in DX4W604\EXTDATA) that is called by F3 in DX4WIN:

 

ECHO OFF                                        ; Don't print this

qgrep.exe -y -e %1 QSL.TXT>TMPQSL1.TXT          ; Search for this call in
QSL.TXT and add it to TMPQSL1.TXT

qgrep.exe -y -e %1 WWHAM.TXT>TMPQSL2.TXT        ; Also search WWHAM.TXT and
add it to TMPQSL2.TXT

COPY /A /Y TMPQSL1.TXT + TMPQSL2.TXT MAN.RES    ; Copy both results to
MAN.RES

TYPE MAN.RES                                    ; And type out MAN.RES

 

 

QGREP.EXE is available on the Internet.

A while back there was some info about using FGREP

to search a text file and display the result when

using F3. At one time I had it working with a version

of DX4Win but I can't seem to get it to work now. I've

gone back through the archives with no luck. The batch

file I'm using extracts the info from the text file but

doesn't seem to copy it to manager.res. Any ideas?
