34 | Select your parameters for querying the CVS commit database in the |
35 | form at the top of the page. You |
36 | can search for multiple matches by typing a comma-seperated list |
37 | into the text fields. Regular expressions, and wildcards are also |
38 | supported. Blank text input fields are treated as wildcards. |
39 | </p> |
40 | <p> |
41 | Any of the text entry fields can take a comma-seperated list of |
42 | search arguments. For example, to search for all commits from |
43 | authors <em>jpaint</em> and <em>gstein</em>, just type: <code>jpaint, |
44 | gstein</code> in the <em>Author</em> input box. If you are searching |
45 | for items containing spaces or quotes, you will need to quote your |
46 | request. For example, the same search above with quotes is: |
47 | <code>"jpaint", "gstein"</code>. |
48 | </p> |
49 | <p> |
50 | Wildcard and regular expression searches are entered in a similar |
51 | way to the quoted requests. You must quote any wildcard or |
52 | regular expression request, and a command character preceeds the |
53 | first quote. The command character <code>l</code>(lowercase L) is for wildcard |
54 | searches, and the wildcard character is a percent (<code>%</code>). The |
55 | command character for regular expressions is <code>r</code>, and is |
56 | passed directly to MySQL, so you'll need to refer to the MySQL |
57 | manual for the exact regex syntax. It is very similar to Perl. A |
58 | wildard search for all files with a <em>.py</em> extention is: |
59 | <code>l"%.py"</code> in the <em>File</em> input box. The same search done |
60 | with a regular expression is: <code>r".*\.py"</code>. |
61 | </p> |
62 | <p> |
63 | All search types can be mixed, as long as they are seperated by |
64 | commas. |
