You might want to try the filter command too, especially the new version
that has a lot more options including the ability to put the qualifying
lines into a different container.

I have a large variable containing about 3000 lines of data - each line
about 100 characters.

I want to search through the variable and find all the lines that contain
a specified string

Should I use (repeatedly) "lineoffset...", or should I use "repeat for
each line..."  or maybe some other faster way?

Or with only 3000 lines of data, does it even matter?

TIA
