I would like to search for a vertical s
                                      t
The string could be anywhere in the   r
file.                                 i
                                      n
Can this be done fairly cleanly       g
with normal UNIX commands, or, if     .
not, does anyone know of a public domain program that can?
                                 
Thanks,
--
