/ (LOCATE)

Purpose

The LOCATE command searches the console log for the character string specified.

/: Indicates a forward search. The search for the specified string starts with the current line + 1 and continues until either the string is found or the end of the log file is reached. 'Current line' is the top line for the first locate command, it is the line where the last string has been located for further locate commands that immediately follow a previous successful locate command.
-/: Indicates a backward search. The search starts with the current line - 1 and continues until either the string is found or the top of the log file is reached.
'string': Is the character string to be located (do not enter the apostrophes unless they are part of the string.). The string and the console log records will be translated to upper case for the search. The output will be scrolled, if necessary, to show the first record containing this string which will then be placed at the top of the screen. The first string found in this record will be highlighted. It will be displayed with reverse video on screens that support extended highlighting, on other displays the display intensity will be changed. The log shown will be shifted right or left, if necessary, so that the beginning of the located string is always visible.
