SEARCH Searching with RexxNews
-------------------------------------
The RexxNews search command is used to search the list of groups or the
headers of articles within a group.
The format of the command is:
SEarch [<tag>] [RANGE <range>] [ [FOR] <target>]
where:
<tag> is a valid header field. Header fields include FROM, SUBJECT,
DATE, etc. If no tag is given, subject is assumed as the default.
<range> is a range of articles within a group. Valid ranges are:
* All articles in a group
<number> A single article
<first>-<last> Articles between first and last
If range is omitted, articles from the current article to the end
of the group are searched.
<target> is any string. No wildcards are allowed, and a match will occur
when the target occurs anywhere within the specified field.
Searches always ignore case.
Example commands;
search windows
would search the subject of all articles within the current group for
the string 'windows'.
search from range * for ibm
would search the 'from' field of all article headers within the current
group for 'ibm'.
search subject range 1-234 for os
would search the subject field of articles 1 through 234 for the string
'os'.
