Re: searching with XPL

["..." adpf@xxxxxxxx]

Hi, Stephen. Thanks for yr thanks.

As an afterthought, here's a little xyW3 xpl demo that should do the
whole job--and if not is easily expanded--built from !PROfile library
(url in sig) routines.

As written, !EN_CRNL changes all newlines (carriage return+linefeed)
temporarily to a unique char sequence, deletes remaining carriage
returns, and restores newlines in all files designated by the wildcard
path used as the !EN_CRNL CMline argument. You could easily change
procedure {is22} to do something different or more, using carriage return
and linefeed s/gs {is13} and {is10} or not--see annotation at the end.
In fact, most of the file is end notes, which I suggest deleting
(sad'ing to a separate file if they're of interest).

If you put the files with carriage return+newline line ends in an
exclusive subdir you could process them all by cd'ing to it and issuing
one
	BC run [path\]!EN_CRNL *.* XC
(where BC=default kbd  and XC=default ). Try it on a couple of
sample files. Ciao. ... yclept 	--a
