l
Search whole file: Select if you want the entire data stream to be searched as if it
were a single string of text. When this option is selected, PReS Workflow loads the
entire file in memory. It offers more flexibility, since search expressions may span
across multiple lines and may result in more successful hits. Note that since this
option uses more memory, it may affect performance.
l
String to search: Enter your search string or regular expression in this variable
property box. To enter multiple strings or expressions, press Enter after each one
(note that only one string can be entered in the Replace with box).
l
Treat as regular expression: Select to specify that the string or strings entered above
are to be interpreted as regular expressions rather than ordinary text strings. This option
disables all position options as well as the Whole words only option.

l
Case sensitive: Select to force the plugin to match the character casing of the
search string above with the characters found in the file. If this option is selected,
“DAY” and “Day” will not be considered as matching the search string “day”.
l
Whole word only: Select force the plugin to search only for strings that match the
search string from beginning to end (cannot be used with regular expressions). If
this option is selected, “DAY” and “DAYS” will not be considered as matching
strings.
l
Position options group:Specify the location where the string must be found using this
group. Note that this whole group is disabled when the Treat as regular expression
option is selected.
l
Anywhere on the line: Select to indicate that the search string can be anywhere on
the line.

At the beginning of a line: Select to indicate that the search string must be the first
string on the line.

on the line.

specific words. Specify these words in the Word before and Word after boxes
