Newbie: find, search command

[MisterX]

there's many ways actually...

you can use the LineOffset(string,container,startingline) function

but if you dont care what line it was, check out 

filter alist with "*xmas"

which is much faster and just returns those lines...

You could also repeat for each line, each item but that's not very efficient
after a few 100 lines...
