Not even close... We run in ECLTYPE P and don't have access to EVAL and the like.
"^[Cc][Hh][Qq].*[5-8][0-9][0-9][0-9]x" Unless you can explain how to duplicate the above search with ESEARCH? @Stuart, that would be ideal, but unfortunately I can't go dumping out multi-gigabyte files. :( -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wally Terhune Sent: Tuesday, 30 March 2010 5:22 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Regex searching UD files Does UniData ECL ESEARCH command not fill the bill already?

However, if it's size non-impactive, what I would normally do is copy the file to a temporary directory then run grep across that. Stuart Boydell -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan McGrath Sent: Monday, 29 March 2010 17:08 To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Regex searching UD files I've written a small utility to be able to run egrep on a UD file (not UD directory), however its implementation is not ideal. Essentially, I select the file I'm searching, writing each record one at a time to a temp UNIX file and running egrep on it as follows !egrep -q -f MyTempRegexFile MyTempRecordFile ; echo $? Where MyTempRegexFile is a file containing the desired regex pattern stored earlier and MyTempRecordFile is a file name unique to each user. My problem with it is that I have to do a READ on each record, followed by a WRITE then have egrep read it in as well. That's a lot of seemingly unneeded disk IO if I could only stream the record to egrep without have to do a WRITE after the READ. Any ideas? I feel I'm missing something quite obvious.
