- LINES
- David Selwood
-
- The LINES program asks for a name of a text file and the text
- to be searched for, the program will then display all the
- lines of text that match the text searched for.
-
- This is very useful for modern programming that use libraries
- or modules. For example in Modula 2 or Pascal if the text
- searched for was PROCEDURE then all the titles of the routines
- would be displayed. This output could then be used for
- reference.
-
-
- To Use
-
- Move to the directory in which the program Lines resides and
- type 'LINES' [RETURN].
-
- Enter the name of the file to be searched for including the
- path if the file is not in the current directory.
-
- Enter the string to be searched for.
-
- Note to redirect output to the printer press [CTRL P] before
- you press [RETURN] at 'Enter text to search for' prompt.
