If I do f p'abc===xyz' I can find any string that begins with abc and
ends with xyz and has any 3 characters in the middle. Is the any way to
find any n-character string starting with abc and ending with xyz or do I
always have to explicitly specify the number of unknown characters.

Don't know if you can do it in one command but can do the ONLY
trick of ===ONLY abc pre
Then ===FIND xyz suf nx all
Don't remember where ONLY came from, PDS85 commands source or XEPHON.
Surely
it's the medication
ONLY is probably an Edit macro consisting of EXCLUDE

The above would find strings such as zzzxyz abczzz, but I think Jim only
wanted to find strings where XYZ comes *after* ABC.

Right. There was a bug in something for a while that rolled everything to

If a line contains the following string:
zzzxyz abczzz
The second 'word' in the above
What I want and would beg for is the ability to use a regular
expression in the ISPF editor. Beats the elided out of those
primitive picture clauses!
