Re: [Hardhats-members] Global Search Tool

[Greg Kreis]

What a hoot!  I was accidentally looking at archived HH messages (from 2004) and I instinctively responded to this one...  I could have let it go and no one would have seen dates for the original post, but it was just too funny to let it slip away into the hustle and bustle of this list... ;-) Greg Kreis wrote: In VPE, you can use the Global lister to search.  It is not very intuitive though.  You first just list the global you want to search (ie. get a page displayed), THEN you enter the C command to do a search with code ('code search'). You get a screen that tells you the variables you can use to write a line of code to do the search.  See the text captured below.   The following variables are available:      GLNAM = "^DIC(4,1,0)"         GL = "^DIC"      GLSUB = "4,1,0"      GLVAL = The data in node ^DIC(4,1,0)          U = "^"  Enter Mumps Code:  Once you enter the _expression_ and press return the listing starts again, using what you told it earlier as the way to list it, and it applies your code to each node that it encounters.

F S X=$Q(@X) Q:X="" D:(X[MYSTR!($G(@X)[MYSTR)) .W !,X .W:$L($G(@X))>0 " = ",$G(@X) (or something along those lines) ought to do it. --- Bob Beckley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Does anyone know of a way to search for string values within a global?
