- GRAB is a program to find and grab paragraphs from a WordStar
- file and is a slight modification of FFYNDE which is a program by
- Harold McIntosh that searchs a family of files for many different
- keyword expressions that are taken from an input file. See the
- source code files for author credits and more information.
-
- GRAB ability to process whole paragraphs depends upon how the lines
- in WordStar are ended with a "soft" carrage return, (08D hex). If
- the file has "hard" carrage returns, (0D hex) then GRAB will work
- same as FFYNDE and just find lines rather than whole paragraphs.
-
- If GRAB finds a keyword in a paragraph, it will first list the line
- number on which the match was made and then the whole paragraph,
- both to the console and to a results file. All of WordStar's high
- bits are stripped both for the matching of keywords and for output
- to the console and the results file.
