you can also Go to line 100 (makes line 100 your current line)

in command mode :
100G
(if you don't specify a line number, G will bring you at the end of the file)

Then launch your search from there depending whether you want to look forward or backward for your RE:
/RE
or
?RE

NAME
Tk::More - a 'more' or 'less' like text widget SYNOPSIS
use Tk::More; $more = $parent->More(...text widget options ...); $more->Load(FILENAME); DESCRIPTION
Tk::More is a readonly text widget with additional key bindings as found in UNI* command line tools "more" or "less". As in "more" an additional status/command line is added at the bottom. ADDITIONAL BINDINGS
Key-g or Home goto beginning of file Key-G or End goto end of file Key-f or Next forward screen Key-b or Prior backward screen Key-k or Up up one line Key-j or Down down one line Key-/ search forward Key-? search backward Key-n find next match Key-N find previous match Key-u up half screen Key-d down half screen Key-Return down one line Key-h invoke help window OPTIONS
Name: fixedFont Class: FixedFont Switch: -font Set the font of the viewer widget. This is by default a fixed font. Name: searchCase Class: SearchCase Switch: -searchcase Set if searching should be done case-insensitive. Defaults to true. Switch: -helpcommand Sets the command for the "h" (help) key. METHODS
Load($file, %args) Load $file into the widget. %args may be one of the following -encoding => $encoding Assume the encoding of the file to be $encoding. If none is given, then assume no encoding (which is equivalent to iso-8859-1). AddQuitBindings Convenience method to add the bindinds Key-q and Control-Key-q to close the Toplevel window containing this More widget. BUGS
Besides that most of more bindings are not implemented. This bugs me most (high to low priority): * better status line implementation * Cursor movement: up/down move displayed area regardless where insert cursor is * add History, Load, Search (also as popup menu) SEE ALSO
