Convert MSDN structures to MASM format

[jj2007]

Here are some findings:

Thanxalot to everybody :icon14:
Version D on top of thread should now handle everything correctly. A TestStruct.h is included. Let me know if you find more goodies :P

seems to work correctly. Well done.  :t

Another little helper for the Tools menu of your editor: FindOnDisk

Usage:
- enter path and file mask ( for example, \Masm32\*.as?|*.inc )

- at least one search string
  (if there are two, both must match)

- find modes as in MasmBasic Instr_():
  0=case-sensitive
  1=case-insensitive
  2=intelligent case (i.e. case of first char ignored)
  4=full word
  5=case-insensitive and full word
  etc.

- click Find to start the search

- double-click on filename to open; note that
  the most recently edited files are on top

Press Escape to quit

Jochen,

interesting tool. Could be helpful by searching large disks.

Hi JJ!!

Is't posible to exclude certain file types? We don't have FindInFile source code.  For example "\Masm32\masmbasic\*.*!*.exe|*.obj".

There is some crashes that, I think, happen when searching inside .exe files.

Thanks.

[jj2007]

Try \Masm32\Examples\*.inc|*.asm|*.rc
with, for example, resource and mode 5

Excluding could be done with GfCallback, but that would require a bit of work :icon_mrgreen:

Problem is: the utility is very usefull!!

Search are not limited to masm projects. I search in *.java, *.c, *.cpp, *.bas, *.txt, *.htm* files just for example. But with *.* sometimes there is crashes.

I will study the GfCallback thing. 

Thanks JJ!

Here is a new version, with an optional exclude field. Extensions must be comma-delimited, e.g. .dll, .exe

There is a second field that limits the size of files. I am curious what kind of file crashes? Can you give a concrete example?

[HSE]

Thanks very much!!

I can't reproduce the error, but I don't remember what I was searching a couple of month ago. Perhaps searching .exe files activate antivirus, I don't know.

Hi JJ!

Now I found very interesting that searchers in general (not only FindOnDisk aka JJSearch) don't find nothing inside libraries. (And it's a little boring open every library with HexEd to see what is inside )

Apparently the search is for strings, not for sequence of characters, wich rise another question: search is for ANSI strings and Unicode strings?

Thanks. HSE

What you are searching for?
Example to test?

EDIT: FindFile

[jj2007]

Hi HSE,

The plugin is indeed designed for searching text files: asm, inc, rc, h, even asc = rtf will work, but search in binary files will stop at the first embedded zero.

Internally it uses the "long" version of GetFiles - see the "WinSock" example.

There is a possibility to use a binary search with Instr_(FAST, ...), see here (towards the end):

using FAST, binary search in haystacks containing zeros is possible

... but it would require a rewrite. If I find time, ... ::)

#$&@%!! I forget doszip.

It's a very unusual search that kind of "binary search". Because Murphy's Law I skipped 1 of 16 very little libraries, and take me some time put order in the search. Not a big problem, but obviously is a different type of search. 

FindFile make the "binary search" and have option for "unicode search" also. Wich, in some way, answer that unicode is a third type of search. Perhaps become more important in the future, and  effort is worth here.

Just a note: FindFile and doszip make the binary search, but their internal viewers only show text.

Thanks. HSE
