- We are currently evaluating FOXPRO (for DOS-I don't think windows version is
- out yet). One problem we're having is searching alphanumeric (string) fields.
- We want to be able to match part of the field, ie. if the field contains
- the words "Student address list" we may want to search for every record with
- the word "address". In Paradox, we would search for "..address..", but we
- haven't been able to find a similar function in Foxpro. Any help would be
- appreciated.
