I'm trying to document excactly how to
use Windows98's Find dialog. And specifically
how to do wildcard searches, case-sensitive
searching etc.
Of course I looked at the online help and
it says that you can type any part of a
file's name and it will display.
However if you type ".htm" it won't find
anything unless you add an asterisk
like "*.htm". Case sensitive searching
doesn't seem to work consistently either.
In fact, it changes my query to lowercase
even if I type it in upper case.
If you can point me to a resource where
the use of Windows98 Find dialog is
well documented please let me know (and
yes I went to Microsoft's site. Its
search engine still has me "on hold"
and I don't really expect to get much
of an answer even if it does come up.
TIA for your suggestions.
Thanks,
Pete (pkleczka -at- yahoo -dot- com)
