PRB: Can't Find "\f" Using Find Command on Edit MenuLast reviewed: June 27, 1995Article ID: Q109147 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are using the Find command on the Edit menu, FoxPro cannot find "\f" (without the quotation marks). If you are searching for "\f", a wait window containing "Not Found" appears in FoxPro for MS-DOS; in FoxPro for Windows, "Not Found" appears in the status bar. In addition, if you try to search for any other character with a backslash in front of it, FoxPro finds the character, but it automatically adds a second backslash to the beginning of the "\<letter>" combination; for example, "\\g".
CAUSEThe "\" character is used to search for special characters. For example, "\t" means "tab", "\r" means "carriage return", and so forth.
RESOLUTIONTo search for "\f", type "\\f" (without the quotation marks) in the Look For box in the Find dialog box.
