[jcifs] search files by jcifs

[andrea.lanza at frameweb.it]

I searched all the examples files (.java source) I downloaded boundled to
the jcifs classes.
I did't find any "Crawler.java" or "search.java" or "find.java" and so on,
so I thougth that they had to be elsewhere..
After yourr answer I checked better and I found a "SmbCrawler.java. " and
other Crawler...

Anyway I discovered that the algortihm I am using is not so bad, but thanks
to you now is REALLY better.

I used a function searchFiles(java.lang.String value)

In this function I built a SmbFile and then recursively I called the same
function.

Now I changed the argoument to be an SmbFile itself, (before I used a
string, built the SmbFile, then in the next Smbfiles obtained from the
listFiles() method  I took the string name with the getCanonicalPath() and
call again the function: I know it was very stupid...)

Anyway here are the results searching the word "txt" in a network drive
recursively

BEFORE
16184 files/dir examined            151 files matchin criteria found    2
minutes 07 seconds elapsed

NOW
16184 files/dir examined            151 files matchin criteria found    14
seconds elapsed

USING THE SEARCH BUILT-IN in the  Windows 2000 Operating System
                        151 files found               38 seconds elapsed

It's very exiting , now it quite 3 times faster than trhe search built in
!!!!

Thank you, and thanks to anybody who moved my attention to the performance
perspective of searching files

When you download the complete jCIFS tarball (or zip or whatever) it
includes the jCIFS source and a directory full of example software.
