SET FIND WHITESPACE
Sets the FIND command to treat spaces and tabs the same (that is, as
"white space") and to span up to one line break. Thus, a string of two or
more words will be found even if there is a line break between two words.
Example:
Command Purpose or effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SET FIND WHITESPACE Sets FIND to treat spaces and tabs the same
and span up to one line break.
2. FIND Mark Twain Finds "Mark Twain" if there is one or more
spaces or tabs between the words or if "Mark"
is at the end of a line and "Twain" is at the
start of the next line.
You may want to put SET FIND WHITESPACE in an initialization file. The
default is NOWHITESPACE: that is, EVE matches spaces and tabs in the
search string exactly, and searches do not span a line break.
