When in EDIT mode, is there a not option for the EXCLUDE command?
Ideally I want to:
BNDS 1,10
EX ALL
FIND ALL FEB
but theres some lines that actually have 'February' string, ones I didn't want showing up, in the first 10 cols. So I figured to exclude them I need to use:
EXCLUDE [lines NOT containing year string]
Is there a way to accomplish this? |

Have you tried F1 for help.
EX has the same basic command format as FIND.

Ahhh.... lateral thinking.
Thanks expat, I knew I was making more complicated than it had to be. |
