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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Help menu, Global Search command
 
     Choose Global Search to specify a string or pattern to find in the
     text of all open Help files and to set options that control how
     PWB performs the search.
     See: ◄About Global Help Search►
 
     The Global Search dialog box contains the following items:
 
     Find Text
          Enter the text or pattern to search for.
 
     Match Case
          Turn on to make case significant in the search.
          Turn off to perform a case-insensitive search.
 
     Regular Expression
          Turn on to search using the regular expression you enter in
          the Find Text box. The current regular-expression syntax
          (UNIX or non-UNIX) is displayed in parentheses after the
          check box.
          See: ◄Regular Expressions►
 
          Turn off to search for the text you enter in the Find Text
          box. If the string you enter contains spaces, PWB matches the
          text in the Help file even if the string is wrapped across
          lines.
 
     When you choose OK, PWB searches all open Help files, starting from
     the current Help file, and displays a progress dialog box that
     shows you how many topics were found, the number of Help databases
     to search, and how many databases have been searched so far.
 
     When you choose the Stop Search button, PWB opens the Help window
     and displays a list of topics that contain the text or pattern.
