     NAME: 

          FIND - Locates occurences of a string in a text file 

     SYNOPSIS: 

          FIND [/C] [/I] [/N] [/Q] [/V] string file..  

     DESCRIPTION: 

          FIND locates and displays all occurrences of a specified 
          string in the text file(s).  FIND examines each line of the 
          text file(s), and prints each line containing the string.  

          If no file is specified on the command line, FIND will 
          filter standard input for occurrences of the string.  Data 
          may be piped or redirected into FIND.  

     OPTIONS: 

          /C - Counts the number of occurrences of the string only.  

          /I - Ignores the case of the string when matching.  

          /N - Displays the line number of each line where the string 
          is found.  

          /Q - Suppresses the header line that identifies the file 
          being searched.  

          /V - Prints all lines in the file that do NOT contain the 
          string.
