dircompare

    compare files in directories

    form: [opt] dircompare dirs

      dirs = directory names
      opt is optional, with up to three elements:
        0{  =0 short file comparison (default)
            =1 long file comparison
        1{  =0 given directory only (default)
            =1 recurse through subdirectories
        2{  =0 file contents only (default)
            =1 also compare timestamps

    e.g.  dircompare 'main \jbak\main'

    returns text result or error message

dirfind

    find name in directory
    find name in directory

    form: string dirfind directory

    returns filenames in directory tree containing string

    e.g. 'jfile' dirfind 'packages'

dirpath

    directory paths
    return directory paths starting from y.
    optional x.=0  all paths (default)
                1  non-empty paths (i.e. having files)

dirs

    browse files in directory
    e.g.  dirs jsystempath 'system\main\*.ijs'

dirss

    directory string search

    form: string dirss directory

    searches for files in directory tree containing string,
    returning formatted display where found.

    e.g. 'create' dirss 'main'

    If x. is a 2-element boxed list, calls dirssrplc

dirssrplc

    directory string search and replace
    form: (old;new) dirssrplc files
    example:
       ('old';'new') dirssrplc jsystempath 'system\main\*.ijs'

dirtree

    get filenames in directory tree
    return filenames in directory tree as boxed matrix
    optional x. is a timestamp to exclude earlier files
    each row contains:  filename;timestamp;size
    e.g.  dirtree ''
          dirtree 'main'
          dirtree jsystempath 'system\packages\*.ijs'
    1997 5 23 dirtree ''   - files dated on or after date.
