Kurt Grossman Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 When searching for Words, I need to know the definitions of the 'sentence' and the 'clause' options for "Search in every" - for a regular search, not a syntactical one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Grossman Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Helen, How could I search for a punctuation marker? For example, if I wanted to find verbs not preceded by a comma how would I specify a "," since it is used in search commands themselves? Thanks, Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The period indicates a single character that follows it. So you can state [VERB] [NOT] [PRECEDED BY] [WITHIN 1 word] ., or use a construct with a negative column with a comma character fopllowed by a verb.

Kurt Grossman Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 I think I need to clarify - my bad. I can search and find periods in a text, because they are not a search command. But I cannot find commas, because the are used in the search commands themselves. I want to find commas, not sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 You can find a comma (or any single character) if you precede it with a period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
