Forums Feature Suggestions $Read addition

$read(filename, [ntswfL], [matchtext], N)

$read(filename, f, *whatever*, 0)
Would return the total times *whatever* was found in filename.

$read(filename, f, *whatever*, 1)
Would return the first line found contatining *whatever*

$read(filename, fL, *whatever*, 1)
Would return on which line the first occurence of *whatever* was found.

Just an idea..

The 2 last suggestions, you can do it with a combination of $read() with the "w" switch and then $readn returns de line number where it found the match.

And i guess you could script the first one using /filter, but it would be direct with a $read switch
