where:

ALL-specifies that all occurrences of a string are to be found in scanned lines.

FIRST-specifies that the first occurrence of a string is to be found.

string-specifies the string is to be found.

* (asterisk)-specifies the string value from the last FIND command entered.

lb rb-specifies the left and right bounds (column positions) for the find. If specifying just the left bound, the string to found must begin in that same column. If specifying both left and right bounds, the string to be found can appear anywhere within those bounds.

X-specifies only excluded lines are to be scanned.

NX-specifies only non-excluded lines are to be scanned.

Use the FIND command to search for a string in the module.

The Editor begins searching at the position of the cursor when you enter the command. It searches downward until the string is found. If the cursor is on the COMMAND line when you enter the command, the Editor begins searching at the top line displayed.

The operands of this command can appear in any order.

This command is available in Edit Mode.
