If you're only looking through a few files, wouldn't it be easier to
write a short basic program to read every record & use INDEX() on each
looking for the string?

eg.

STRING = "12":@VM:"26"
SELECT filevar
LOOP
WHILE READNEXT ID
   READ REC FROM filevar,ID
   THEN
      IF INDEX(REC,STRING,1)
         THEN CRT "Found in ":ID
   END
REPEAT

Subject: [U2] grep for @VM

I am trying to find an obscure setting somewhere in a UD database on
HP-UX; I know that the character string is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can anyone tell me how to grep for this combination of alpha and
high-ASCII characters so I can resolve a recurring accounting issue?

Thanks in advance,
David Beahm
