PDP-11 SEARCH UTILITIES
-----------------------

This consists of three modules, SEA.CMD, SRP.CMD and TEC.TSK,
which will allow you to accomplish the following functions on
A PDP-11:

1) Search file spec for an occurance of an ascii
string.

2) Search and replace a specified file spec for
occurances of a set string and replacing that
string with a new one.


To Search the following is required:

@SEA a b c

Where:
a = is the file spec to search, no disk spec allowed
the disk to search thru is SY: (this is due to
our version of TECO screwing up the disk spec for
disk unit #'s greater than 17 octal).
b = is the search string, and no blanks are allowed.
this can be overcome by not putting in this
parameter (and the following parameter also), thus
causing the command file to promt for the rest of
the parameters. That promt will allow any string
to be inputed.
c = is the optional output file spec to put the results
of the search. If not provided, then TI: is the
assumed destination.

To Search and Replace the following is required:

@SRP a b c d

Where:
a = is the file spec to search, no disk spec allowed
the disk to search thru is SY: (this is due to
our version of TECO screwing up the disk spec for
disk unit #'s greater than 17 octal).
b = is the search string, and no blanks are allowed.
this can be overcome by not putting in this
parameter (and the following parameters also), thus
causing the command file to promt for the rest of
the parameters. That promt will allow any string
to be inputed.
c = is the replace string, and no blanks are allowed.
this can be overcome by not putting in this
parameter (and the following parameter also), thus
causing the command file to promt for the rest of
the parameters. That promt will allow any string
to be inputed.
d = is the optional output file spec to put the results
of the search. If not provided, then TI: is the
assumed destination.

Also provided is our copy of catchall.cmd that we used to help in our
development environment.
