Syntax

search( target, search )

…

endsearch()

Arguments

target

Name of a variable of type string in which to perform the search.

String value to search for.

Code Sample Example

This example splits a string delimited with semi-colons.

In the OnReadDataPage event of the user-defined emulation, the &str system variable contains each new line of data

being fed to the document. Also, do not assign anything to the variable while inside the search-endsearch loop; it will get

overwritten.

Example

define(&v1,string,'This;is;a;test') %Create the variable

search(&v1,';') %Start loop

show(&v1) %Show token

crlf() %Skip line

endsearch()

show(&v1) %Show remaining text

StopJob (procedure)

Terminates execution of the document and returns control to the PostScript interpreter.

Syntax

stopjob()
