A quoted string specifies a single line that contains the specified string. You can enclose the string in either single or double quotation marks (' or "). When you use a string as a range, EDT will search forward, starting with the current line, until it locates a line with the specified string. If a minus sign (-) precedes the string, the search will be backward. Ex: TYPE 'abc' Locate and display the first line forward that contains the string 'abc'. TYPE -"abc" Same, except the search will be backward.
