Subject: John's WP GREP 1.1.5
Adds regular expression (GREP) search capability to WordPerfect 3.5 and later.
The standard Find command lets you search for occurrences of the word
'apple' in your file. But sometimes, instead of searching for a specific
word or phrase, you'd benefit from searching for a certain _kind_ of word
or phrase. That kind could just be a list of, say, 'apple', 'orange',
'plum', 'pear'. Or it could be any word that starts with 'p' and has four
letters, or any word starting with 'p' and having four letters, the second
and fourth of which are within the first half of the alphabet.
In like manner, you can search for a telephone number from any country or
configuration followed by a word that starts with a vowel. If you can
conceive of the kind of text - the pattern that describes it - you can
search for it.
Free. May be included on AMUG, Info-Mac and Umich CDs.
