A useful search tool, Filer, in Virtual FoxPro


This is a good search tool in VFP.

Filer

Years ago, Filer was what most FoxPro developers used to search and find files. After VFP 3.0, this disappeared and many developers screamed. Well, the Fox Team has listened and decided to bring back a little nostalgia. Enter the following in the Command window to see an example of how it runs:

DO FORM (HOME(1) + 'Tools\Filer\Filer.scx')

Search through the VFP Help file and read up on the new Filer, because this one is object-oriented and you can interact with it and implement it in your own applications. I guess you could call this FilerX!
