I would use the UniData ESEARCH verb:
:ESEARCH FILE.NAME
STRING: MIL
STRING: Spec
STRING: SPEC
STRING: -14
STRING:
12 records selected to list 0.
>SORT FILE.NAME FIELD1 FIELD2

Subject: [U2] - UniBasic String Search
I need to examine fields for perhaps one thousand part.numbers looking
for tech specs that contain character strings like
"MIL"
"Spec"
"SPEC"
"-14" etc
While I can do this with commands like... execute 'SELECT IM WITH
OP.SPEC LIKE "...-14..." ', this technique is awkward since I have a few
dozen strings to look for...
I have the IBM tech manual describing the MATCH operator and the
MATCHFIELD function. Is there a handy UniBasic method to handle this or
should I write a little program to do this myself?
Fixes would be appreciated.
