If the help.txt file contains a line which begins with "~" and contains only the text provided, then the following lines down to the next "~" are printed. If there's more text on the "~" line, it's not considered a match. But if you put "*" after the search text, then you match: > help colour* Colour fore [, back] Or COLOR fore [, back] Colour MAP inarray%(),outarray%() [,colourmap%()] > help files > help files* Files [fspec$] [,sort] Files [fspec$] [,sort] > Perhaps an improvement would be to match if the ~string is a match for the first of the line up to the length of ~string. ~ Edited 2025-07-06 09:31 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |
