I have a file with many rows and would like to do a search in all rows that contain the letters PK in positions 94-95 of each row then display each complete row that contains this value in new window.

I know this is going to be really easy but I new to UE and I'm spending too much time trying to figure it out. Help!

Thanks Jody

If you're doing this just to find information (and don't plan on making any changes that you'll want to save), I've found the file sort feature very usefull for this.

File->Sort->Advanced Sort options:

Just put columns 94 and 95 in the two fields for 'Key 1', click 'Sort' and all lines in the file will be sorted by those two columns. Just scroll down until the column shows PK and they'll all be grouped right there.

Thanks for the reply. My delima is the file is very large (254,000) rows. Sorting by a column takes a long time. I need a faster way to do this. Any other suggestions?

Thanks Jody
