Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

When you search for the next occurrence of a regular expression,
CodeView searches to the end of the file, then wraps around and
begins again at the start of the file. This search can have
unexpected results if the expression occurs only once. For
example, when you give the command repeatedly, there is no
activity on the screen. Actually, CodeView is repeatedly wrapping
around and finding the same expression each time.
The Case Sensitivity command on the Options menu and the Options
Case-Sense (OC) command-window command have no effect on searches
for regular expressions. To match uppercase and lowercase
in search strings, choose the Find command from the Search menu.
You cannot search for a label with the Search (/) command, but you
can use the View (V) command with the label as an argument
to achieve the same effect.
