This is a search script that I have developed. It finds the records that I look for. However the only thing I want the program to do now is to display a message such as 'Not Found' to appear when a record is not found. So far when a search doesn't display a record, the screen is blank.

mhc(5) File Formats Manual mhc(5)
NAME
mhc - Message Harmonized Calendaring system
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mhc file format. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
FIELDS
Mhc file format is based on STD11/RFC822: Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages. In mhc file, the following extra header
fields are used.
X-SC-Day:
Date of event in format yyyymmdd. You can specify multiple date with space separated like:
X-SC-Day: 19990409 19990413
which means April 9th 1999 and April 13th 1999.
X-SC-Time:
Time of event in format hh:mm-hh:mm or hh:mm. For event which has no meanings about time, you can leave it empty in this field.
X-SC-Duration:
Period of event in yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd. You can omit start date or end date, like "19991121-". X-SC-Duration: is used only to limit
date specified by X-SC-Day: or X-SC-Cond, so you can't describe event date only by X-SC-Duration:. If X-SC-Duration: is empty, it
means no limit.
X-SC-Cond:
Condition of event date by using following keyword.
00-31 Day of month.
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Last Week in month.
Sun Mon ... Sat Day of week.
Jan Feb ... Dec Month
Examples,
X-SC-Cond: Tue Fri
Every Tuesday and Friday.
X-SC-Cond: 31 Aug
Every August 31th.
X-SC-Cond: 1st 3rd Fri
Every 1st and 3rd Friday.
X-SC-Cond: Fri
X-SC-Day: !19990409
Every Friday, but except April 9th 1999.
X-SC-Cond: Fri 13
Every 13th and Every Friday, not 13th Friday.
X-SC-Alarm:
Hint for alarm of event. Currently, mhc.el doesn't alaram, but gemcal will pop-up alarm window. It will be useful if you transfer
this event to PalmOS. In X-SC-Alarm:, you can specify the number (1 to 99) with suffix such as minute, hour or day. For example,
X-SC-Alarm: 10 minutes
Alarm 10 minutes before event.
X-SC-Alarm: 3 hour
Alarm 3 hours before event.
X-SC-Alarm: 3 day
Alarm 3 day before event.
X-SC-Subject:
Subject of event. unstructured?
X-SC-Location:
Location of event. unstructured?
X-SC-Category
Category of event. Any keyword, space separeated. Case ignored.
X-SC-Recoard-Id:
Internal use only.
