[Tutor] Searching list items.

[Chris Hengge]

An article at devshed was using it like that... but the output wasn't what I
was looking for.. I was getting the hex address where the result was, but
not printing the line..

I think the simple code you recommended in your first reply will do the
trick, I'm not looking for anything magical, just need to see a line if it
contains what I'm looking for.

I'll do some more checking into regex later, looks very useful...

Thanks.
