26;; Search a database of files and use dired commands on

30;;;;; Building a database of files ;;;;;;;;;
31;;
32;; You can create a simple files database with a port of the Unix find command
33;; and one of the various Windows NT various scheduling utilities,
34;; for example the AT command from the NT Resource Kit, WinCron which is
35;; included with Microsoft FrontPage, or the shareware NTCron program.
36;;
37;; To set up a function which searches the files database, do something
38;; like this:
39;;
40;; (defvar locate-fcodes-file (concat my-home "/fcodes"))
41;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
42;;
43;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
44;; (cons "grep"
45;; (mapconcat 'identity
46;; (list "-i" arg locate-fcodes-file)
47;; " ")))
48;;
49;;;;;;;; ADVICE For dired-make-relative: ;;;;;;;;;
50;;
51;; For certain dired commands to work right, you should also include the
52;; following in your _emacs/.emacs:
53;;
54;; (defadvice dired-make-relative (before set-no-error activate)
55;; "For locate mode and Windows, don't return errors"
56;; (if (and (eq major-mode 'locate-mode)
57;; (memq system-type (list 'windows-nt 'ms-dos)))
58;; (ad-set-arg 2 t)
59;; ))
60;;
61;; Otherwise, dired-make-relative will give error messages like
62;; "FILENAME: not in directory tree growing at /"
63\f
64;;; Commentary:
65;;
66;; Locate.el provides an interface to a program which searches a
67;; database of file names. By default, this program is the GNU locate
68;; command, but it could also be the BSD-style find command, or even a
69;; user specified command.
70;;
71;; To use the BSD-style "fast find", or any other shell command of the
72;; form
73;;
74;; SHELLPROGRAM Name-to-find
75;;
76;; set the variable locate-command in your .emacs file.
77;;
78;; To use a more complicated expression, create a function which
79;; takes a string (the name to find) as input and returns a cons
80;; pair: the car should be the command to be executed, the cdr
81;; should be the arguments, concatenated into a string (including
82;; the name to find). Then do
83;;
84;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line)
85;;
86;; in your .emacs, using the name of your function in place of
87;; my-locate-command-line
88;;
89;; You should make sure that whichever command you use works correctly
90;; from a shell prompt. GNU locate and BSD find expect the file databases
91;; to either be in standard places or located via environment variables.
92;; If the latter, make sure these environment variables are set in
93;; your emacs process
94;;
95;; Locate-mode assumes that each line output from the locate-command
96;; consists exactly of a file name, possibly preceded or trailed by
97;; whitespace. If your file database has other information on the line (for
98;; example, the file size), you will need to redefine the function
99;; locate-get-file-positions to return a list consisting of the first
100;; character in the file name and the last character in the file name.
101;;
102;; To use locate-mode, simply type M-x locate and then the string
103;; you wish to find. You can use almost all of the dired commands in
104;; the resulting *Locate* buffer. It is worth noting that your commands
105;; do not, of course, affect the file database. For example, if you
106;; compress a file in the locate buffer, the actual file will be
107;; compressed, but the entry in the file database will not be
108;; affected. Consequently, the database and the filesystem will be out
109;; of sync until the next time the database is updated
110;;
111;; The command locate-with-filter keeps only lines matching a
112;; regular expression; this is often useful to constrain a big search.
