I need a program to perform proximity search on a file of text. For example, the search expression: search big house returns big house big red house big and beautiful white house Please Email your recommendations. And thanks in advance. cristy@dupont.com -- The UUCP Mailer

There seems to be two useful options for performing proximity searches: 1. Ed Vielmetti & Adrian Ho recommend lq-text (anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.toronto.edu). 2. Randal Schwartz recommends perl with this script: perl -ne 'print if /\bbig\b.{1,20}\bhouse\b' somefile Thanks all for your suggestions. cristy@dupont.com -- The UUCP Mailer
