Easy as one, two, three... plop! Should I save the info in LDraw.INI
or in a separate .INI-file?

Have to think about that one...

This is already there (in a way): If You start Your search string with
a double quote (") it will only match the complete string - but it
must match _exactly_ ie. all spaces must be present (You don't need an
ending quote).


BTW, I tested " plate, and this eliminates most baseplates.

Of course it's possible! I just don't know how it's done. Give me time
will ya! :-) (I'll put the text in a little status panel in the bottom
for now...but it's not there until You click on a line :-()

(...) Put it in ldraw.ini. Part of the reason I used that filename in LDAO is because I figured we could all share it. Steve (28 years ago, 11-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
