Dear Icon Friends,
Having worked with Icon for only about two weeks, I have already been able
to make a nice concordance program. Icon is, indeed, powerful and well
suited for working with text. However, I am having two problems:
1. "every i := find(word,line) do" will only find the first 5 instances of
word in line, then it fails. Why is this?
2. How can I set the number of spaces '\t' represents? On my computer it
represents 8 spaces (if I counted right); I want it to represent 11 spaces
on anybody's computer.
Thanks,
Louis Turk
