RE: Search OS/400 Physical Files

Evan

I think grep can be a great tool. I'm not sure it'll work on DDS-based files - QShell seems to have some stuff restricted to single-column files (PFs created with RCDLEN(nnn)) or source physical files, which are handled like the single-column files. Again, not sure if grep's input is restricted like this. It does restrict what you can use for redirection.

Hi Peter

What makes you think this can't be done ? I'm not suggesting you're wrong -
I'm just curious if you have an example of what you weren't able to find
using it.

Evan Harris

I really like grep. Too bad it has no place in the database world. What
a wonderful help it would be if we could use something like it to find
where a specific text string lurked. Especially when trying to reverse
engineer some 3rd party apps.
