Or when you have multiple strings to search for. Maybe you know your data well enough to decide. One of my text search pipelines needed to select the lines (n-2) to (n+2) when the match is on line (n). With two hits at (n) and (m) close enough together, I wanted (n-2) to (m+2), etc...

The "spec" stage will produce a null record when you suppress all content, so "locate" should be enough. The "if" isn't really meant to select records. It normally produces a record for each input record. Maybe you can use "printonly eof" and force the actual records with a "write" in the "spec" But ugly is an understatement... | Sir Rob the Plumber
