Abstract: Similar to the UNIX tool grep, PMATCH scans a list of files
for matches between the text pattern supplied and the
contents of the files in the list.  PMATCH identifies every
file as it is scanned, displaying each line in which the
specified text pattern is found.
 
The RT-11 directory utility may be conveniently used to
create the desired file list by exploiting the /COL:1 and
/OUT: options, then editing out header, trailer
and imbedded blanks.  The PMATCH executable task should
function in any RT-11 version 5.0 or later environment.
 
On-line HELP for RT-11 is included in the file PMATCH.HLP.
 
Notes: Although developed using Whitesmith C, the source code should
migrate readily
to other C environments with proper attention to file access
functions.
