Need help with find

[1/5] from: tmoeller:fastmail:fm at: 4-Jul-2008 20:59

Hi, this is my Problem. I have a file containig lots of lines with table names like this: ABO.ZUGANG_MONTH ABO.ZUGANG ABO.ZUGANG_YEAR ABO.ZUGANG_MONTH_DIRECT ....... What i need to do is to find exactly the line with ABO.ZUGANG. If i do an find on this, the result will be ABO.ZUGANG_MONTH as it contains ABO.ZUGANG. HOW can i avoid that??? Any ideas??

Can you append a space or newline to the end of your search string, depending on how your file is formatted? -- Gregg

How about this... files: read/lines file-list.txt first find files "abo.zugang" Brock

and even if there would be no space you could append, then you know exactly length of the string, so you could do: all [ 10 = length? string find string "ABO.ZUZANG" ] ... or something like that :-) Of course there is also parse available, but that's for another chapter :-) -pekr-
