Abstract
A method for identifying one file in a plurality of files facilitates a user rapidly selecting the file. In an input operation, at least one character that was input by a user is received. In a find file operation, the method compares an input character string that is, or that includes, the at least one character with each individual data file name of a plurality of data file names. The find file operation identifies individual data files names that include a character string that corresponds to, i.e., matches, the input character string. A send to display operation sends at least one of the identified individual data file names to a display unit, which in turn displays the sent information to the user, i.e., suggests an individual data file name to the user. If the user accepts the suggested individual data file name via one input order action forwarded, the selected file is processed as desired by the user. Alternatively, the user can scroll through the identified individual data file names and selected the desired file, or input another character in which case the autocomplete process is automatically repeated.
