You can set the file as a VarChar and use SLOC to determine if the string
value is in the file.
Set var VFile VarChar = ['TheFullPathNameOfTheFile']
set var vSloc integer = (SLOC(.VFile, 'ST*856*123'))
if vSloc > 0 then
pause 2 using '"ST*856*123" found in current file'
else
pause 2 using 'No Matching String in current file'
endif

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Searching for file contents
In Windows you can search for a specific text string in all files for a
folder(s).
DOS has a similar FIND command.
I need to be able to execute this function from within Rbase. Say there are
100 files
in a folder and I need to find the one that has "ST*856*123" in it.
I can ZIP a FIND command, output the results to a text file, load the text
file into Rbase
and then parse the temp table to see if the string was found.
Any better ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
-Bob
