- Dump the file somewhere and do a grep on it;
-
- grep -i mui INDEX
-
- alternatively, you may have zgrep, in which case you can compress the INDEX
- file; or you can compress it anyway, and pipe the uncompressed output through
- grep;
-
- gunzip -c INDEX.gz | grep -i mui
-
- This should work on all brands of UNIX as well as the Amiga - if you have
- grep, gzip and anonymous pipes installed. ;-) No need for any text editors!
