VMS Hints and Kinks part 44352883

(1 / 1)


	Maybe I was just the last to discover this, but the VMS SEARCH
utility is a bit spiffier than most of us give it credit for.  There is,
for example, the /MATCH qualifier. The simplest real useful example of
this I came up with is:

	$ search/match=and *.s "MOVE.W",",-(SP)"

Which will type out all the lines containing the two strings, i.e. find the
places that GreenHills 1.8.0 screwed you by pushing a word, rather than a long,
as a parameter. /Match also has other neat possibilities.

				Explore and Enjoy
