Hello Allfix!
Anyone have this???
If you send the request in the correct form then all our software that handles such requests will understand it and respond correctly.
It was sent in the correct form, according to the HowTo posted in
this echo. If there is some problem with my request, then the HowTo
should be updated to reflect the correct requirements for FileFind messages.

Allfix is NOT the only tool used for this ie, Filemgr also various
BBS systems eg mbse .

even so, what is the specific format necessary to search out a
specific filename or wildcarded filename? (ie: dorman*.*)

Going by memory that looks correct.
Extract from Filemgr regarding usage of filefind:
Mine did look but didnt find.. hmm now checking.....even so, what is the specific format necessary to search out a

well, his and my attempts did not trigger my allfix to even attempt a search... is filefind based completely on "keywords"??
Extract from Filemgr regarding usage of filefind:
thanks for that! maybe my foo*.* doesn't qualify? hummm... then again, maybe this is a bug :pout:
the part that shows the filename format should be included in the
forum's "HowTo" because there's nothing like that in there right
now... then, again, what is there is pretty much the very same thing
that the Allfix docs have on the topic... yes, without any filename
format example :?

Nope nothing here.

foo.*.* should work according to 'specs' just no similar file here
and yes I did check my logs that my system did try to find.
But it is not impressed with other messages ie, the moderators "hey
I'm here" stuff. That type of thing never occured way back etc,
so, many filefind apps may have problems with it. This echo was
ONLY for the "want a file who's got it" messages.
ok, so what am i missing from the original post? the subject contained
the necessary search params and the body of the message should be
ignored by the software out there... so what's wrong with adding a
message that a human might also read???
yeah, i don't have a file of similar name available, either... but the main point is how does one specify a certain filename mask with or
without keywords????

It does not bother mbse but some of the early file tossing apps
might get upset and not respond to messages. I also write mine
(and the software too) as per filefind specs.
Assuming the other main file movers via filegate etc are linked
into this area (assuming they have filefind set up) I am a little suprised that they have not responded in a positive manner.
One of my earlier apps for this used to respond and produce
messages regarding the finding or not, even if the (not find)
messages went to me as sysop. At tleast it showed everything was
working correctly. Now I have to look in the log files.

See my msg regarding the filefind spec and how to use it.
If thats does not help look at the allfix documentation.
If I find it, I will send another msg.
