I am posting this URL since there appears to be a limit
to the amount of text I can post in a thread and
the end of this script is being cut off.

Trying to use your script, however running into problems. Getting the following error upon execution:
/usr3/medprogs/findit: te:: not found
/usr3/medprogs/findit: /usr/bin/date: not found

Thank you for using findit version 1.4
The latest version can always be found out

Please send any questions/comments to Robert@JORDAN2000.com

/usr3/medprogs/findit: whoami: not found
/usr3/medprogs/findit: test: argument expected
Do I need to modify in any way ? Hope this is going to change our support area lives!!!!Supportsc

Yes, I probably need to work on this script to make it
more generic and add more error checking and comments.
I wrote it using the k shell on hpux.
I am not well versed on every flavor unix,
but some parts of this script are not necessary to run,
other parts can be changed to work on your system.

The date command just attempts to capture the current date.
Find out where the date command is on your system
and alter the script. The whoami command attempts
to find out our user id. Again, you can alter this
for your system.

You should be able to comment out certain parts of this
script.

I am removed some commands that are not necessary.

Also you can comment out the "Check_ID" function
by placing a # sign in front of it.

#Check_ID
Main_Menu
Search_Path
Sub_Directories
Symbolic_Links
Begin_Search
Display_Results
Text_Search
File_Maint
Exit

When you copied and pasted the script or saved it,
it's possible some of the lines go cut in two
which would produce errors.

I would get latest version from my website

http://www.JORDAN2000.com/scripts/findit.txt

I will be making some major updates over
the next few days as I get more feedback.



Thank you,

Thanks again for the input. This system flavor is just SCO UNIX. I have gotten the latest from you web site. I will "play with" this and see what happens. It appear that the commands are basically the same as far as date and whoami are valid commands here as well. Again thanks for the post, and hopefully can get editted so our support Team can utilize your script...Laura
