The search pattern is displayed on the second line of the screen in parentheses. If there is not enough
room on the second line for the entire search pattern, HP Browse displays only the first 60 characters of
the search pattern.
HP Browse displays the corresponding line number with each line containing an occurrence of the search
pattern. Standard line numbers are formatted in 10 columns; COBOL line numbers are formatted in eight
columns. For unnumbered files, the record number is printed in the first six columns. A dollar sign at
either end of an occurrence line indicates that the line is too long to be displayed on the text screen and has
been truncated.
If HP Browse finds multiple occurrences of the search pattern on a line and one or more is beyond the
columns being displayed, additional lines are printed containing the same line number with the starting
column number in brackets.
At the prompt, you may press Return to go back to the line in the text window where the Find All
Occurrences function was executed. To browse a specific matching line within the context of the text
window, move the cursor to the desired matching line and then press either Return or the Move to Line
function key. Pressing Control Y or the Stop Search function key while the cursor is anywhere on the
Find All screen will display the text window positioned at the line where the Find All Occurrences function
was executed.
HP Browse can only display 19 matching lines at a time. If you execute the Find All function and HP
Browse finds over 19 matching lines, they are displayed on multiple screens. Press Space Bar or the Next
Page function key to display the next screen of matching lines.
