Alternate answer: Similar to Gil's, but IMHO a bit simpler: Do a "?" to get the ALL command back into the input area, and put a "not" sign (shift 6 on many keyboards) in front of the first "/". ENTER and you will see all lines that DON'T contain "string". Then use the same delete command: ":0 DELETE *". Note that the ":0" MAY throw an error, and "TOP#DELETE *" won't. >But ISPF is easier than XEDIT at adding lines to the viewable >set; in XEDIT you need to write a macro to do that. Not necessarily. If you xedited a file which is still out on disk, you can get the complete file back by: ALL :0 DELETE * get = = = optional: TOP or :0 or other positioning as desired. Or: just QQ and xedit fn ft fm again. If the file you are looking at is a reader file that you PEEK'd, just QQ and PEEK the same file again. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
