qfind

Searches the current data file until a string is encountered.

Syntax

qfind "string"

Comments

If qfind does not locate string before it hits the end of the file or finishes scanning maxfind lines, a failure condition will occur.

After a successful qfind, the current file position is set to the first character immediately after the matching string.

Because qfind ("q" is for "quick") looks for a simple string rather than a regular expression, it is much faster than find, but less versatile.
