If you have SimpList, use the HIDE and SEEK commands. For example, go into a member list and type the following on the command line:
===> SEEK 'some string' ALL ===> HIDE 'some other string' ALL ===> HIDE 'yet another string' ALL The above gives you a member list containing only those members that do contain the first string but don't contain the other two strings. If you don't have SimpList, get it! :-) Dave Salt SimpList(tm) - try it; you'll get it! http://www.mackinney.com/products/program-development/simplist.html > Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:10:25 +0100 > From: [email protected] > Subject: how to identify members that DO NOT contain a string > To: [email protected] > > I have a pdse that contains 4000 plus source members and I need to be able > to identify those members that DO NOT contain a particular string. > > Any ideas. > > Jim McAlpine > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO > Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html _________________________________________________________________ MSN Dating: Find someone special.
