24 | |||
25 | <p> | ||
26 | Select your parameters for querying the CVS commit database in the | ||
27 | form at the top of the page. You | ||
28 | can search for multiple matches by typing a comma-seperated list | ||
29 | into the text fields. Regular expressions, and wildcards are also | ||
30 | supported. Blank text input fields are treated as wildcards. | ||
31 | </p> | ||
32 | <p> | ||
33 | Any of the text entry fields can take a comma-seperated list of | ||
34 | search arguments. For example, to search for all commits from | ||
35 | authors <em>jpaint</em> and <em>gstein</em>, just type: <code>jpaint, | ||
36 | gstein</code> in the <em>Author</em> input box. If you are searching | ||
37 | for items containing spaces or quotes, you will need to quote your | ||
38 | request. For example, the same search above with quotes is: | ||
39 | <code>"jpaint", "gstein"</code>. | ||
40 | </p> | ||
41 | <p> | ||
42 | Wildcard and regular expression searches are entered in a similar | ||
43 | way to the quoted requests. You must quote any wildcard or | ||
44 | regular expression request, and a command character preceeds the | ||
45 | first quote. The command character <code>l</code>(lowercase L) is for wildcard | ||
46 | searches, and the wildcard character is a percent (<code>%</code>). The | ||
47 | command character for regular expressions is <code>r</code>, and is | ||
48 | passed directly to MySQL, so you'll need to refer to the MySQL | ||
49 | manual for the exact regex syntax. It is very similar to Perl. A | ||
50 | wildard search for all files with a <em>.py</em> extention is: | ||
51 | <code>l"%.py"</code> in the <em>File</em> input box. The same search done | ||
52 | with a regular expression is: <code>r".*\.py"</code>. | ||
53 | </p> | ||
54 | <p> | ||
55 | All search types can be mixed, as long as they are seperated by | ||
56 | commas. | ||
