6aea3b07 30;;;;; Building a database of files ;;;;;;;;;
83346ee8 31;;
6aea3b07
RS
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:
83346ee8 39;;
be8bf2d0 40;; (defvar locate-fcodes-file "c:/users/peter/fcodes")
6aea3b07 41;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
83346ee8 42;;
6aea3b07 43;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
be8bf2d0 44;; (list "grep" "-i" arg locate-fcodes-file))
6aea3b07
RS
45;;
46;;;;;;;; ADVICE For dired-make-relative: ;;;;;;;;;
83346ee8 47;;
6aea3b07
RS
48;; For certain dired commands to work right, you should also include the
49;; following in your _emacs/.emacs:
83346ee8 50;;
6aea3b07
RS
51;; (defadvice dired-make-relative (before set-no-error activate)
52;; "For locate mode and Windows, don't return errors"
53;; (if (and (eq major-mode 'locate-mode)
54;; (memq system-type (list 'windows-nt 'ms-dos)))
55;; (ad-set-arg 2 t)
56;; ))
57;;
be8bf2d0 58;; Otherwise, `dired-make-relative' will give error messages like
6aea3b07
RS
59;; "FILENAME: not in directory tree growing at /"

61;;; Commentary:
62;;
63;; Locate.el provides an interface to a program which searches a
64;; database of file names. By default, this program is the GNU locate
65;; command, but it could also be the BSD-style find command, or even a
66;; user specified command.
67;;
68;; To use the BSD-style "fast find", or any other shell command of the
83346ee8 69;; form
6aea3b07
RS
70;;
71;; SHELLPROGRAM Name-to-find
72;;
be8bf2d0 73;; set the variable `locate-command' in your .emacs file.
6aea3b07 74;;
83346ee8 75;; To use a more complicated expression, create a function which
be8bf2d0
RS
76;; takes a string (the name to find) as input and returns a list.
77;; The first element should be the command to be executed, the remaining
78;; elements should be the arguments (including the name to find). Then put
6aea3b07 79;;
83346ee8 80;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line)
6aea3b07
RS
81;;
82;; in your .emacs, using the name of your function in place of
be8bf2d0 83;; my-locate-command-line.
6aea3b07
RS
84;;
85;; You should make sure that whichever command you use works correctly
86;; from a shell prompt. GNU locate and BSD find expect the file databases
87;; to either be in standard places or located via environment variables.
88;; If the latter, make sure these environment variables are set in
be8bf2d0 89;; your emacs process.
6aea3b07
RS
90;;
91;; Locate-mode assumes that each line output from the locate-command
92;; consists exactly of a file name, possibly preceded or trailed by
93;; whitespace. If your file database has other information on the line (for
83346ee8 94;; example, the file size), you will need to redefine the function
be8bf2d0 95;; `locate-get-file-positions' to return a list consisting of the first
6aea3b07
RS
96;; character in the file name and the last character in the file name.
97;;
98;; To use locate-mode, simply type M-x locate and then the string
99;; you wish to find. You can use almost all of the dired commands in
100;; the resulting *Locate* buffer. It is worth noting that your commands
101;; do not, of course, affect the file database. For example, if you
102;; compress a file in the locate buffer, the actual file will be
103;; compressed, but the entry in the file database will not be
104;; affected. Consequently, the database and the filesystem will be out
be8bf2d0 105;; of sync until the next time the database is updated.
6aea3b07 106;;
be8bf2d0 107;; The command `locate-with-filter' keeps only lines matching a
6aea3b07
RS
108;; regular expression; this is often useful to constrain a big search.
