Date Description of Change
01-22-2009 Improve scan speed and hex translation/searching.
08-27-2008 Implement CASE-INSENSITIVE checkbox option for case insensitive scanning.
07-07-2008 Separated Pathname from Filename specifications, so that we can apply regular
expressions for filename matching.
06-22-2008 Easy point-and-click install.
06-02-2008 Added checkbox option to scan "hidden files". The former default was all files.
The new default, when box not checked, is to exclude hidden files.
05-21-2008 Capability of using PERL-type REGULAR EXPRESSIONS for scan argument.
Improve scan performance.
02-18-2008 Modified pathname collection to execute in a separate thread so that there is
no wait time before scan task runs. Collection and Scan threads share a bounded
buffer with multiple condition locking construct.
01-19-2008 Have scan ignore file paths pointed to by symbolic links. This greatly reduces
possibility of recursive looping.
Vastly improve invoked editor.
03-26-2007 Improve HALT ability so that a stop is scheduled after a record read rather than
waiting for the current file to be completely processed.
01-07-2007 Simplify installation.
07-01-2006 Add FileChooser GUI option to select file pathname.
05-17-2006 Correct logic to respect leading and trailing spaces of search string input argument.
01-17-2006 Provide a combination box for search criteria strings. Will hold up to 100
previously used search strings during scan session.
12-11-2005 Implement "Text-Only" option checkbox to scan files that are recognized as "clear text"
files only. Eliminates binary files from the scan. Reduces scan time.
12-04-2005 Implement "first-hit-only" option checkbox to scan files for the first occurence of a
match, then move on to scan the next file in the selection list.
Increase the size of the GUI display window.
06-19-2005 Do not exclude single qualified items when scanning against *.* or * or the
default scan criteria templates.
05-20-2005 Allow scan of multiple qualified files when using filename.filext pattern.
Scan will parse out file extension as being the last qualifier, all other
preceding qualifiers will be assumed to be part of the filename.
Permit pattern templating of Windows drive during file editing.
05-08-2005 Show "total number of hits" along with number of file hits occuring during scan.
02-05-2005 Allow for different scan argument delimiters that could occur in scan string.
