DRUNWILD

Command Line Drun Sports New Wildcard Feature

In the Summer 1994 issue of "The Unibase Technical Review" we spoke of the improvement of "WILDLIST" to allow users to add wildcard capabilities to file, sort, or output edits programs on the command line.

User Driven Request

Now, thanks to several users' requests this capability for up to 500 files has been added to the command line. The improvement is that instead of a bat file being executed, a single command line can be executed from command line, bat/script file, or within another edit and still use wildcard capabilities.

Example is From UNIX

The following example shows the new Release 7.3i format for a sort edit from the UNIX environment:

$ETBIN/drun $ETROOT/sort/SORT1 -10 TEST TESTIX $ETROOT/files/TEST*
