Since seeing this, I put together an edit macro today as I think I could find this useful too. Using your example, you'd enter FM abc*xyz (FM = Find Mask) This would find 123abc987xyz and abc123xyz987 The default is that the 'abc' and 'xyz' must be in the same word. There is a parm that can be added allowing these to be separated by spaces and/or words on a line. For example: "FM abc*xyz STRING" would find the line "123 abc do re me tuvwxyz 987" to contain the mask. If interested send me an email and I'll forward it to you. It contains HELP and some minor error checking on the parameters.

Is the any way to find any n-character string starting with abc and ending with xyz or do I always have to explicitly specify the number of unknown characters.
