- A Robust File Search Pgm anyone?
MsDos has two file search functions. The very inferior Find, but even the Findstr is not robust enough and fails because too many long lines and files it can't open before mssg memory exhausted. This likely RAM? but its a 16GB Ram cptr as detailed in next item.
I would install cygwin (pretty universal) or that linux-on-windows thing if they still have it. Then use grep. Friends don't let friends use msdos/powershell.
WD SES Device USB Device No Driver found
I hate external drives that don't use known standards and require drivers! Evil. I have some old Toshiba things here that won't work on anything but XP! Even the drives inside have something weird done to them that makes them unusable even as bard IDE or SATA drives. Evil.
However, if you're using a newer OS, and a newer drive, and we're talking Windows, it should work! What does the WD box say it requires for an OS? You're saying you got it to work on 7 but not 10? That's odd unless it's an older drive. _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list -- roundtable@muug.ca To unsubscribe send an email to roundtable-leave@muug.ca
