Right now I'm on the WinXP machine duplicating some work I did years ago. So I am looking for an octave file I wrote years ago, but forgot the name.
Thus, I did a search on the whole disk and on another disk using the stupid 'puppy' search tool. I know it's an octave file and has the variable pvalue or maybe pv51, or pv70, pv71 om it.
for file name I put in
*.m
for text inside the file I put in the variable I remember I created
pvalue
the program found only 3 files, identical files in different folders.
the files were
smoothpvalue.m
not the one I was looking for.
ok, well maybe another search, I know I had written it with pv70 as a variable but that came up with nothing!
ok, so let's make the search less stringent:
look for file name
*.m
and inside simple text:
pv
that found six files, the one/three above and one/three identical ones named
smoothpvconv.m, again all same date
But when I looked inside this 'new' file I found the word pvalue ?! yet the search for pvalue never found it?! It was like lieing to me that it looked inside, never seemed to look past finding it in the title !!
Why didn't this new and improved search tool find what was there?
How do I do a proper search? and find every file named *.m containing the text, "pvalue"?
