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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Word (Text)
 
     Syntax
 
     Word: "<regular_expression>"
 
     "<regular_expression>"    A macro string specifying a UNIX-syntax
                               regular expression that matches a word.
 
     The Word switch specifies a case-sensitive UNIX regular expression
     that matches a word. The Unixre and Case switches are ignored.
     See: Case, Unixre, ◄Regular Expressions►
 
     The word switch accepts a TOOLS.INI macro string. The string can
     use escape sequences to represent nonprintable ASCII characters.
     Note that backslashes (\) must be doubled within a macro string.
     See: ◄Macro String Syntax►
 
     The Word switch is used by functions that operate on words: Mword,
     Pword, Pwbhelp, right-clicking for help, and double-clicking the
     mouse to select a word.
     See: Mword, Pwbhelp, Pword
 
     Default
 
     Word:"[a-zA-Z0-9_$]+"
 
     The Default value mimics the behavior of PWB 1.x.
