same syntax and options as the DIR command.
COUNT - This command allows you to count the number of files in a
Library or Libraries. It has the same syntax and options
as the DIR command. However, this command does not display
the files, but only a summary count of files. In this way,
you can count the number of files that will be listed by
an equivalent DIR command (so you can "preview" a potentially
long listing).
Examples:
COUNT - Count of all files in the current Library.
COUNT LIB:ALL - Count of all files in all Libraries.
COUNT KEY:GAME LIB:ALL - Count of all files with the keyword GAME in
all libraries.
To accompany the "COUNT" command, the DIR and LIST commands have a new
option, the "COUNT" option. When this option is specified, a summary count of
the files displayed is shown at the end of the listing. Just add COUNT to
the command line (COUNT can be abbreviated to the first three letters "COU",
or to "CNT").
For example:
DIR *.* COUNT - Lists all files in the current directory in
alphabetical order, and prints the total number listed at
the end.
Enhanced "AGE:" and "DAY:" Options
The "AGE:" and "DAY:" options have been enhanced to accept ranges of days.
You can now specify that only files OLDER than a given number of days be
listed, or that only files with ages that fall in a given range of days
be listed. The "AGE:" and "DAY:" options work identically.
Examples:
DIR AGE:30 - This command produces a directory of files uploaded between
today, and 30 days ago.
DIR AGE:30- - This command produces a directory of files uploaded MORE
than 30 days ago.
LIST DAY:30-90 - This command produces a listing of files uploaded between
30 and 90 days ago.
File Name Characters and Keywords
For all users, the valid characters that can be used for a File Name in
the Libraries have been extended. The following characters are now valid
in file names and extensions for files uploaded to the CompuServe Libraries:
A-Z 0-9 @ # $ % - _ & +
File names are still limited to only six characters. If an invalid character
is found in a file name, or if the name is too long, it will not be accepted.
Keywords have changed just a bit too. The maximum length of a keyword is
now 17 characters, and may consist of _only_ the following characters:
A-Z 0-9 _ - & .
There are also a maximum of 10 keywords per file, and any duplicate keywords
are automatically removed. There is a "Stop-List" of keywords that are
removed as well:
A ALL AN AND ARE BUT BY FOR
FROM I IN IS IT ME MY NOT
OF ON SO THAT THE THIS TO TOO
WITH YOU
None of the keywords that are automatically removed count towards the
10-keyword maximum per file.
You can search for multiple keywords at once by separating them with
commas, as in:
DIR KEY:GAME,BOARD LIB:ALL
The above command will produce a directory of all files in all libraries
that have the keyword GAME _and_ the keyword BOARD.
