I had a big PL/SQL file (OK I don't normally do coding any more but I still can) and I wanted to find all the LOOP ... END LOOP pairs, and get a quick picture of how they were nested and sequenced. What text editor would the Board use to do that? It's a unix system but most work is done on the Windows PC, e.g. by UltraEdit and FTP.
Obviously you can search and mark in any editor, but I wanted to be able to visualise the pairings (e.g. as you can in Textpad with Ctrl-m to find the mate for a bracket: but how do you define Loop and END LOOP as brackets?)
In the end I opened it in SPF and did a "X ALL;F ALL LOOP". Ah, a real editor is still useful.
