03.03 How can I search through multiple folders?
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1993 00:00:00 -0800
Recurse through the folders (in csh and sh):
% foreach f (`folders -f`) $ for f in `folders -f`
? pick [switches] +$f > pick [switches] +$f
? end > done
Or create a folder that contains links to all messages (in csh and sh):
% foreach f (`folders -f | grep -v -x ln`)
? refile -src +$f -link all +ln
? end
$ for f in `folders -f | grep -v -x ln`
> do refile -src +$f -link all +ln
> done
and in the future, refile messages with "refile +folder +ln". To
find something, use:
% pick [switches] +ln
