Find filenames by any word as fast as possible using index files with the free sfk iname command.
sfk name[2] word [word2] [!exclude] [.ext]
find filenames as fast as possible by using
index files created by sfk index or gindex.
sfk name word [word2] [word3] [...]
will use local index files zz-index.txt
- in the current folder
- in the parent folder
- and so on, until the root folder "\"
and also the global Base Index file from
C:\Users\main\AppData\Local\.sfkhome
and then lists all file names from those indexes
having the given words in their name or path.
Under windows, instead of C:\zz-index.txt
it will read C:\zz-index\zz-index.txt
sfk name2 word [word2] [word3] [...]
does the same as name, but also includes
the global Extended Index file.
sfk gname uses only the global index.
sfk lname uses only local index files.
pattern syntax
- just type up to 10 words that must be contained
somehere in the file name or it's path. the words
are AND combined. the sequence is ignored.
- words starting with ! or : will exclude any file
having the word in it's name.
