I think I wasnt clear in my explanation
I have 20 files and a list of ten words; such as [the of and ...]
each of my files are strings of 6 words starting with one of the words mentioned above
the goal is to extract substings that start with one of those words and finishes with a other --> then drop everything out of the string out and save in a separate file or colums
that would mean for each file I would have 100 patterns of substrings to be extracted
so if we have following lines

1 the book is black...

2 the dog and its owner...

3 the box of tissues...

4 of the edge ...

so the output should look like this

1	this line should be ignored
2	this one has the pattern of �the.*and� so it can go on the column or file �the-and�
3	this line has the pattern of �the.*of� so it can go on the column or file �the-of�
4	this line has the pattern of �of.*the� so it can go on the column or file �of-the�

so really don't know how I can deal with it

Quote:

GREP �x.*y�

would not be suitable for 100 patterns ; specially when they need to be saved in different places and the

Quote:

GREP -F -f acceptfile.txt

would not work with the �x.*y� patterns

XSetICFocus(3X11)														 XSetICFocus(3X11)

NAME

       XSetICFocus, XUnsetICFocus - set and unset input context focus

SYNOPSIS

       void XSetICFocus(ic)
	       XIC ic;

       void XUnsetICFocus(ic)
	       XIC ic;

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies the input context.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XSetICFocus  function  allows  a  client  to  notify an input method that the focus window attached to the specified input context has
       received keyboard focus. The input method should take action to provide appropriate feedback. Complete feedback specification is  a  matter
       of user interface policy.

       Calling XSetICFocus does not affect the focus window value.

       The  XUnsetICFocus function allows a client to notify an input method that the specified input context has lost the keyboard focus and that
       no more input is expected on the focus window attached to that input context. The input method should take action  to  provide  appropriate
       feedback.  Complete feedback specification is a matter of user interface policy.

       Calling	XUnsetICFocus  does not affect the focus window value; the client may still receive events from the input method that are directed
       to the focus window.
