search for its search. In this case if the found title does not match the
group search parameter it will be removed from the listbox and the found
count will be reduced by 1.
If no title search was specified, the group search will search all the
recipes in the database for matches and add them to the listbox and found
count.
After the group search is completed, the ingredient search will be performed
in the same manner as the other searches.
The search can be cancelled at any time by pressing the "Stop" button. Any
recipes found will remain in the list box.

the list box. In this case a warning message will be displayed and the search
will stop.

will be written to a file with the recipe file name and a extension of ".err".
The file will be in KA text format. The type of error will be in the start
of recipe header. You can edit this file with a ASCII editor to fix the
problem, then reimport the file using the file, import, KA text function. The
type of error that KA/2 will find that would cause a error is a duplicate

you may have to use this function is if you did a large scale deletion of
recipes and you want to make the disk space available to you system.
Note: The pack function DOES NOT compress the KA/2 files.
The pack procedure is done by first exporting the recipes in KA/2 format, to
a file named "<recipeFileName>.KA$", then renames the recipe files to
temporary files. The names of these temporary file are in the log file, if
you have the log file option enabled. Next a new set of recipe files is
created with the same name as the original recipe files, then the exported
file is import into the new recipe file. At the end all temporary are
deleted. The export file *.KA$ is not deleted until the next pack of this

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.4. Ingredients Edit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Ingredient Editor
Window
The Ingredient Edit window is activated from the recipe editor window by the
Ingredient button.
The main area is the text entry box in the center of the window. You can
enter the ingredients directly into this area if you observe the correct
formatting as listed below. You can also use the three ingredient entry fields
at the top of the window and the header entry field at the bottom of the
window to enter the new text for the ingredient section of the recipe. To
modify existing ingredient text you must make the modifications in the Main
entry area or delete the text you want to change and then enter the new text
using the entry fields at the top of the window. Using these entry field will
ensure that the entries are in the correct format.
Ingredients Text
Formatting
Ingredient Header The header should be on a line by it's self and should be
preceeded by 5 or more Header Characters, optionally
followed by 5 or more Header character The header
character is user definable in the Options, Printer page of
the notebook.
Ingredient Line The quantity and measure fields must be followed by a 2 or
more spaces or a tab character. The unit of measurement
should 1-3 characters. While they can be any measurement or
abbreviation, I suggest that you use a standard
abbreviation. KA/2 will convert whatever is entered to the
standard KA/2 abbreviation, if the measurement you entered
is in it's table.
The ingredient text should be formatted as follows:
IngredientText [ ,AdditionText ]
The item within the brackets are optional and is used for
additional descriptive text associated with the ingredient.
The IngredientText should be just the ingredient ie: Onions,
this should be followed by a "," or ";" if there is a
addition descriptive text for the ingredient ie: "Sliced
thin".
An example of a ingredient line would be:
3 lg Onions, Sliced thin
or
1 c flour
The ingredientText portion the the line is used for the
ingredient indexing used by KA/2 to speed up some of it's
operation. If the comma is omitted the program will work,
although the number of index entries may increase
unnecessarily and may impact the performance of the program.
If you use the ingredient entry fields, be sure that the cursor is at the
beginning of the line that you want the text to be placed.
Usingtheingrediententryfields
Quantity Enter the numeric quantity for the ingredient. Enter a fractional
qty as 1 1/2. Do not use a decimal entry.
Measure You can enter the unit of measure in the entry field or press the

measurements. Select the desired measurement and press enter or
double-click the left mouse button. The drop down box will close.
Only the abbreviated portion of the text will be used in the recipe
for the unit of measure. If you enter your own unit of measure in
this entry field be sure to limit it to 3 characters. You do not
need to enter the long name of the ingredient.
Ingredient Enter the ingredient in the ingredient entry field. Limit this to
just the ingredient name. Any additional information should be
