Hello,
I want to compare two rather similar too-large-for-a-human files (20000
lines).
These files are the traces left by a trace('i')'ed REXX before and after
a (simple) modification. I'm looking for regressions in the program.
A COMPARE or XCOMPARE works perfectly (is never lost), but gives me too
many differences.
So, I'd like to filter the traces a bit to have less lines to read/compare.
I can easily isolate the few lines I modified in the REXX (locating a
given string), but I'd also like to see the few lines following my given
string (to look for regressions).
Is there a filter to do that (something like "locate /theString/ take 3
after"), or a combination of filters (locate, take, combine, strfrlab,
?...) ?
For example, with this input :
A
B
C
DtheString
E
F
G
H
I
J
KtheString
L
M
N
O
P
Q
R
S
U
V
W
I want this ouput :
DtheString
E
F
G
KtheString
L
M
N
Thanks
Michaël
