Despite the replies for the various forms of "R%5", there may be some more
yet offered. This reminds me of the Y2K reviews I had to apply in 1998-1999
before the sky fell.

I wrote a program who's concept may help in this pursuit. From the Y2K era,
there were certain date oriented things to look for in databasic programs.
The generic FIND or SEARCH programs could essentially SELECT the proper
programs to manually review but then you had to view the code in the editor
and deal with a few false positives.

This utility prompts for a file name (BP) and one or more OR'd strings to
search for. The joy of this utility is that it would find the item in
question and display the previous 3 and following 3 lines of code so you
could see the context of the sought string and not just the single line with
that string. You could send the output to the screen or printer.

That's my suggestion for finding something that's not easily identified.

P.S. If you use my concept, you may want to have your search strings contain
no spaces and convert to "" the spaces in each reviewed line. There is a
overly grand way people program with spaces between operators and even
though the complier doesn't care, FIND programs or the editor will miss them
if they don't match exactly.

My 3 cents.
