RE: [cobalt-users] looking for a word in a log file ? 2

["Peter Masloch" <peter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is very simple:
"vi" the logfile you want, then hit the "/" key
and type in the word you are looking for and hit "enter".
With hiting the spacebar you go down the logfile the
searched word in revverse color displayed.
For more information type "man vi"
