Find only strings PREFIXED with ABC, of this subset find only strings
suffixed with XYZ. Pre come before suf 99.999998% of the  time.


If a line contains the following string:

zzzxyz abczzz

The second 'word' in the above string is prefixed with ABC. The first word in the above string is suffixed with XYZ. So, the use of ONLY and FIND would find the above string, but I think Jim wanted to find strings where XYZ came *after* ABC.
