Please send responses via >email to me. I didn't send this email because I requires the assistance of the net. Isn't the MPW search command {not the Search menu} but the command itself similar to Unix Grep, and if it isn't it seems to me that a shell script could handle the job quite nicely.

Please send responses via > email to me. Excuse me, but I thought that was what the search tool did. I even run with it aliased as grep. It does what I expect grep to do and does it quite well.

Yes, there is a grep-like utility for MPW, and it is included with every copy of MPW sold. It is called search. Dan Allen Software Explorer Apple Computer

Thanks to everyone for your input! Steve Dorner
<uupsi!pequod.cso.uiuc.edu!dorner> directed us to the Search tool
in MPW, which somehow we had overlooked in reading the MPW manuals.
If we come across (or write ourselves) one that more exactly
emulates the UNIX version (with similar special symbols having
similar meanings) we'll let everyone know. For the time being
however we'll content ourselves with this Search tool, which has
all the capabilities of grep with just the language changed.
