EVE SET_WILDCARD_ULTRIX — VMS 5.4

 SET WILDCARD ULTRIX

 Enables Ultrix wildcards for WILDCARD FIND.

 Ultrix wildcards (sometimes called "regular expressions" or "meta-
 characters") include the period (.) to match any single character on a
 line, the dollar sign ($) to match end-of-line, and the caret or
 circumflex (^) to match beginning-of-line.

 Example:

    The following commands find strings like "Bat," "bet," "b t," or "BUT"
    at the end of a line:

       Command: SET WILDCARD ULTRIX
       Command: WILDCARD FIND b.t$

 Usage notes:

 o  Default is SET WILDCARD VMS.

 o  The setting applies in all buffers, but is not saved in a section file
    or command file.  To enable Ultrix wildcards for future editing
    sessions, put SET WILDCARD ULTRIX in an initialization file (typically,
    EVE$INIT.EVE).
