In regard to: Re: [Networker] How to query for a specific file?, MIchael...:

In Unix, I would use grep to search for the file name if I
didn't know where it was. I'm not sure for Windows.

Grep exists for Windows. Altho the supplied "findstr" command ("Find
String") works somewhat similarly, at least for this case. So that's what
I'm doing .. dumping all those thousands of records, and doing a find for
the name I want ...

Honestly, it's probably no slower to do it this way than it is to do it
all in nsrinfo.  This way works, even if you don't know the exact file
name, so it's the method that's going to save you the most time over the
long haul.
