Just to double check my understanding regarding the capabilities of the 
WILDCARD stage:

pipe cms listfile * * a (noh | wildcard 1.30 /*PROFILE*/ | console
This does not give any output because "listfile * * a (noh" contains 3 words, 
and WILDCARD's delimited string here does not specify 3 separate words, is that 
correct?

(Particularly given that "pipe cms listfile * * a (noh | wildcard 1.30 
/PROFILE* * */ | console" does give output.)

Use CHOP 30|COPY|SPLIT|WILDCARD and JUXTAPOSE to prefix the remainder of the 
record by each word.  It should be pretty easy to adapt WILDCARD to serach for 
the keyword, as you suggest.  You'll have to do a bit of contortion to get the 
topology just right.

I'm sure Rob can elaborate and also get the juxtapose timing just right, 
perhaps to reverse the record and then CHOP -30.

You need to make up your mind as to whether you want the original record or 
just the bytes beyond column 30, or something else indeed.
