VFIND Command
VFIND Command
Use the VFIND command to find all lines containing occurrences of a specified string in
a range of lines within a variable.
option
is any of these:
OUT file-name
QUIET
TO variable-level
OUT file-name
specifies a device, or a sequential file accessible to the sequential I/O (SIO)
facility, that is to receive the listing of lines in which string is found. The listing
includes line numbers. If you omit this option, TACL writes the listing to its
current OUT file. If the QUIET option is present, this option is ignored. If you
specify an OUT file that does not exist, TACL creates an EDIT file named list-
file. If you specify an OUT file that already exists, TACL appends the
information to the end of the file.
QUIET
suppresses listing of lines in which string appeared even if the OUT option is
supplied.
TO variable-level
is the name of an existing variable level to which a listing is to be appended of
all lines in which string is found. Line numbers are not included. The QUIET
option has no affect on this option.
variable-level
is the name of an existing variable level in which the search is to be made. It must
not be in a shared segment, and must not be a DIRECTORY, a STRUCT, or a
STRUCT item.
string
is the string to be found. A string is the name of a variable level, text enclosed in
quotation marks, or a concatenation of such entities. The concatenation operator is
'+' (the apostrophes are required).
