the issue is that the semicolon is considered as the multi command separator

like for example in
find all the lines not containing a STRING
which could be a one liner

Hi Santhosh,

Are you looking for this?

Thanks for quick reply,

But do we have any other way to find that delimiter character just like other special characters and even not the Hexadecimal search.

Hi,

Go to START;0 (Settings)

change 'COMMAND DELIMITER' from ';' to some other value, for ex ':'

Now do Find ';'

You will get the desired result
