FIND Command for NOT EQUAL to value

Hi,

Please let me know if there is any direct FIND command on ISPF Command prompt to get value NOT EQUAL to specified value.

For example. After opening PDS member or FILE in BROWSE or EDIT mode, I want to find value in a specified column which is NOT EQUAL to zero.

Command ===> F 0 23 -----> This will give me value 0 in column 23. But I need opposite of that (NOT EQUAL to 0).

Also is there a command to check GREATER than SPACES in specified column

Command ===> F ' ' 45 ----> Will let me know if there is SPACE in column 45. But I need opposite of that. All I need is to check if there is any value at column 45 in a FILE. Same for NUMERIC data.

Use the eXclude command to exclude (from view) lines with '0' in 23. Those left will be the others. There are other options available, so use F1 and experiment.

X all;f '0' 23 all;flip

now what will show is what doesn't have a 0 in 23.

This might be unrelated to the question. To add to what Kat has to say, you can use these additional pattern finds as well

= any character
. non-displayable characters
@ alphabetic characters
- non-numeric characters
# numeric characters
< lower case alphabetics
$ special characters
> upper case alphabetics
¬ non-blank characters

For example

f p'@' 23 45 will find you all the alphabets between position 23 & 45.
