INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN
If you added this pattern, ADD DISKFILE-PATTERN $*.*.*, to the above patterns, a
one-dimensional search that will add the pattern “*.*” to every volume that matches
“$*”.
If you had volumes $DATA1, $DATA2, and $DATA3, the following patterns would
be added:
5. $DATA1.*.*
6. $DATA2.*.*
7. $DATA3.*.*
If you now did INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN $*.*.*, which patterns would be
returned? Patterns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are wrong. The answer is 5, 6, and 7.
That command is a one dimensional search. It is asking for the specific pattern “*.*”
on all volumes that match “$*”.
If you use INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN $*.*.*, ALL, you get all patterns. This is a multi-
dimensional search, that is asking for any patterns that match “*.*” from all volumes
that match “$*”.
“ALL” directs Safeguard to treat all wildcards as search characters. If you omit “ALL”,
the wildcards in the subvolume and filename are the actual characters you are looking
for.
INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN Examples
•
To display the diskfile pattern $DATA.*TEST.* (that is, display a single diskfile
pattern) using display user as name:
=DISPLAY USER AS NAME
=INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN $DATA.*TEST.*
This output appears:
LAST-MODIFIED OWNER STATUS WARNING-MODE
$DATA.*TEST
* 28SEP04, 5:44 MLH1.MGR THAWED OFF
\KONA.PROD.CARLY R
\KONA.TEST.JIMMY R,W
GROUP TEST R,W,E,P,C
GROUP \KONA.TEST R
\*.*.*
•
To display the diskfile pattern $A.B.*:
INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN $A.B.*
•
To display all diskfile patterns that match the search pattern $A.B.*:
INFO DISKFILE-PATTERN $A.B.*, ALL
