Finding specific data
To find one or more occurrences of a character string in a selection list, you can use the FIND primary command, which you can abbreviate as F or /.
For example, to search for the next occurrence of the string “Apple”
in any mix of uppercase and lowercase, enter this command on the Command
line:
F APPLETo find the next occurrence of the same string, use the RFIND command, or enter the FIND command with no argument. A message is displayed if the string cannot be found.
You can control the starting point, direction, and extent of the search with one of these optional parameters before or after the search string: NEXT, PREV, FIRST, LAST, ALL.
For example, to search for the last occurrence of the string “Orange”,
enter either of these commands on the Command line:
F ORANGE LAST
F LAST ORANGERelated topics
