wildcard chars
=TITLE wildcard_chars
=TITLE Using Wildcard Characters
=INCLUDE Overview vue_directories searchingdir
A wildcard character allows you to substitute one
character for one other character or for many
characters. The wildcard characters include:
- Asterisk (*)
- Ellipsis (...)
- Hyphen (-)
- Percent (%)
- Period (.)
For example, to search your file list for all the files
that have a COM file type:
1. Click on the File Filter entry field.
2. Using the asterisk wildcard (*), enter the
following:
*.COM
3. Click on the Apply button.
In this example, the asterisk character is used as a
substitute for all the file name. FileView searches for
all the files whose file type is COM. These files are
then displayed in the file list.

VMS provides the following logical name tables:
Table Description
Job table Contains logical names available to all
your processes and subprocesses.
Group Contains logical names available to all
table users with the same user identification
code (UIC) group number. Your UIC code
identifies the name of the group to which
you belong and your unique name within the
group.
System Contains logical names available to all
table users on the system.
You can also create your own logical name table that is
private to your process or shareable by others.
When you enter a logical name as part of a command
line, the system translates the logical name. It does
this by searching the job, group, system, and any
other logical name tables specified by the logical
name LNM$FILE_DEV. (LNM$FILE_DEV is a special system
logical name defined in the LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY table.
It specifies the search order that FileView and all

When you assign a logical name to a device, concealing the logical name allows you to write programs and command procedures and perform other operations without being concerned about which physical device actually holds the disk or tape. When you assign a logical name to a directory or subdirectory, concealing the logical name can make the directory or subdirectory appear as the master file directory for the current device. This directory or subdirectory to which you assign a concealed logical name is called the root directory. You can then use this root directory as the base from which to access directories beneath it.

command file for that verb as a template. To modify a
command file that executes a built-in FileView command:
1. Copy the command file from the VUE$LIBRARY directory
and edit it.
2. Give your command file a name that identifies the
task it performs, giving it a file type of COM.
Do not give your command file the same name as an
existing FileView command file.
Do not delete the command files in the VUE$LIBRARY
directory that execute FileView's built-in verbs.
If you delete your new verb definition, FileView uses
the original command file to execute the built-in verb.

=TITLE shr_cus =TITLE Sharing Custom File Views =KEYWORD Customizing Creating When you customize your file view, you create a private customization file that the system reads every time you use FileView. You can share your custom file view with other users. For example, you might want to share with others on your project a file view that contains a customized menu bar. When several users share a public customization file, they have access to a common file view.

First, FileView reads the system customization file. The system customization file, which is shipped with VMS DECwindows, contains definitions that produce the menu bar, verbs, and saved views. Next, FileView reads the public customization files, if they exist. The public customization file contains any definitions that you share with other users. Finally, FileView reads your private customization file, which contains your personal FileView definitions.

FileView reads your private customization file by
translating the logical name VUE$PROFILE. By redefining
this logical name, you can instruct FileView to
read another file that contains customized FileView
components.
To build a public customization file that you can
share:
1. Type the DCL command, DEFINE VUE$PROFILE
filename.VUE$DAT, to redefine the logical name
VUE$PROFILE to point to a nonexistent file.
2. Create a custom FileView by creating any new verbs,
menu names, pop-up menus, and including any saved
views you want to share.
3. Click on the OK or Apply button in the Verbs and
Menus, File Types, or Menu Bar dialog boxes, to save
your customized components in the file to which the
logical name VUE$PROFILE now points.
4. Exit from FileView by choosing the Quit menu item
from the Control menu.
5. Place the file in the VUE$LIBRARY directory
or in some other public directory to which
VUE$PUBLIC_PROFILE points.
