In XEDIT, the FIND command only looks at the beginning of each record. As others have mentioned, the LOCATE is the way to find strings located anywhere in the records. There are also some shortcuts for proceeding beyond a string that has been located. If you have not entered a command following a successful locate, you can press PF9 to repeat the last command. You can use PF6 to retrieve prior commands that have been entered via the command line. Those are the defaults when they haven't been changed via a PROFILE XEDIT; they can be changed.
I presume that the "as TSO" refers to ISPF. I think that if you are going to be using XEDIT very much, spending some time exploring it would be time well spent. It is highly customizable using PROFILE XEDIT and if that isn't enough, you can write your own macros. Grep! What is that? I believe it was Alan Ackerman who said in a post to this list, he may have been quoting someone else, that he would not trust a system whose commands, when spoken, sounded like bowel noises. :-) Regards, Richard Schuh > -----Original Message----- > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of P S > Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 6:24 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Find command > > On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 6:24 AM, Bob > Woodside<[email protected]> wrote: > > On Tuesday 21 July 2009, Philip Hitti wrote: > >> Is there any command to find a word in the midle of the vm > file and > >> continue seaching until the end of the text as TSO. > > > > I'm not sure what you mean by "as TSO", but IIRC there is a grep > > command under z/VM.
