Hugh,
I believe there is a SAS macro on my web site (www.sasconsig.com) under
Tips and Techniques (Tip00077) which might serve your purpose. If not,
I have a SAS macro I use to do massive changes to external files (they
could be .sas extensions) to find and replace string searches.
However, my macro was written for OpenVMS system and would need to be
modified to fit a Windows NT system ( basically, need to change how to
read a flat file in NT after performing a DIR *.sas > listsas.lis
and how to pick which records are SAS program entries in this lis.
Let me know if you are interested and I can send it to you.
Regards,
Charles Patridge
