The SEARCH command needs this information:
In the “Search for:” field, type up to 67 characters, including spaces.
The text can contain any characters on your keyboard. If you use quotes
around the search-text and the search-text contains quotes, then you must
double the quotes within the search-text. For example:
The phrase: a “profile” setting
You enter: “a” “profile” “setting”
You can also search for search-text patterns; see Section 2 for a description.
In the “In lines:” field, the default is F/L, which indicates all lines
from the first through the last line in the file. The / indicates a range of
lines. You can use line numbers and symbolic designators in line
ranges. See “RANGES” in Section 2 in this manual for a description of
line ranges and symbolic designators. Here are examples of line ranges:
*/L — cursor position to last
T/B — top of window to bottom of window
10/30 — lines 10 through 30
To see the line numbers in your file, use the command SHOWNUMBER
ON.
In the “In columns:” field, the default is 1:239, which indicates all
columns. The : indicates a range of columns. You can use column
numbers and symbolic designators in column ranges. See “RANGES”
in Section 2 for a description of column ranges and symbolic
designators. Here are examples of column ranges:
LE:R — Left margin to right margin
