| Hi ppls,
I can't get NG to run on my XP notebook, so I'm asking here instead.
I seem to recall that in the Nanfor file functions, there is a
s /search function. I thought it was FT_FS( string ), but it's not.
Can anybody elucidate?
Basically, I want to open a text file and search it for a specific string.
Cheers
Chaz

Download the excellent Windows-based NG replacement WEG from
http://www.davep.org/norton-guides/ and you will be back in business.

There is a whole group of functions for reading and writing text files
where each line is considered to be a record. Things like FT_Fuse(),
FT_Frecno(), FT_Fgoto(), FT_Freadln(), FT_Fskip() etc but no
FT_Fs(). You would have to do something like this (adapted from the
NG) and inspect what FT_Freadln() returns:
FT_FUSE( "text.c" )
DO WHILE ! FT_FEOF()
cRecord := FT_FREADLN()
// Check cRecord for the string you are looking for
FT_FSKIP()
ENDDO

Hi Klas
thanks for the link to WEG... now installed. As you say, there is no
FT_FS function.... I'll just have to do it the long way. Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion Jimmy. Unfortunately, some of the files I need
to process are well in excess of 64kb.
I was hoping to input a string and find out on which line of the
document it occurs, but there is no s function available, so it looks
like I'll have to do it the way Klas has suggested. Cheers

FT_Browse() is what you want.

Steve, I don't see this function in nanfor.lib, where it is ?

I was meaning ft:freadln(), of course.
You have also in GT_FLocate() in GT_lib that does what you want :
GT_FLocate(<nFileHandle>,<cString>,[<lCaseSensitive>],;
[<nStartPos>]) --> nLocation
