  • Search for a folder

    Unix has some great tools for searching for folders and files. Are
    there similar ones in VMS like `grep` or `find`?

    THe folder structure in OpenVMS is wierd... what's the root folder
    equivalent is it [000000] or is it cleverer than that?

    $ DIR disk:[000000...]FOOBAR.TXT

    $ SEARCH disk:[000000...]*.TXT FOOBAR

    etc. can do some.

    If that is not sufficient then look for various tools on the
    Freeware CD.
