John, Using version 1.3.0 (GNU pspp 1.3.0-g937088), I can replicate this behavior on Windows PSPPIRE using string variables. I created a new string variable, country, and typed in some values. Then searched for the string value. Nothing happened. I assume it's supposed to highlight that row or give it focus or something. If so, it seems to be broken. @Domingo: Harry Thijssen produces the Windows compiled packages and installations. We'll have to wait for a version 1.4.0 from him (or compile it yourself). -Alan -- Alan D. Mead, Ph.D. President, Talent Algorithms Inc. science + technology = better workers http://www.alanmead.org The irony of this ... is that the Internet is both almost-infinitely expandable, while at the same time constrained within its own pre-defined box. And if that makes no sense to you, just reflect on the existence of Facebook. We have the vastness of the internet and yet billions of people decided to spend most of them time within a horribly designed, fake-news emporium of a website that sucks every possible piece of personal information out of you so it can sell it to others. And they see nothing wrong with that. -- Kieren McCarthy, commenting on why we are not all using IPv6
