How weaving is done

Vertical weave

 

1.      You choose a searchword

2.      You send the searchword to the source

 

 

 

 

3.      You let it work in the unknown

4.      You let it come up as a alphabetic list

 

 

 

Horizontal weave

 

5.      You compare the English part (on the left)

with the German part (on the right)

            6.   Wherever there is no translation provided

you fill the gap with your imagination.

 

 

 

 

 

Further search while in List-mode

 

You may

           

            1.   Click   F   for FIND,

                  enter a searchword,

hit Return

2.      This will take you to the first finding.

 

Leave List-mode

 

You may

 

            1.   Hit Escape to leave List-mode,

Logical choice

Logic AND NOT

You may               -

 

            1.   Reduce the results of your last search

      by entering a  “-“  (= minus sign), then hit Return.

 

      The colour of the search frame will change.

 

2.   Then enter the word you want to eliminate

       in the search, hit Return and come to a new

       finding, having the previous finding reduced

       by all the lines that contain the second searchword.

 

Logic OR

 

You may               +

 

1.      Enter a “+” character instead of a searchword,

Hit Return.

 

2.      Two  input frames for search input will open.

 

3.      Input one searchword, hit return.

 

4.      Enter the second searchword, hit Return.

 

5.      Find all lines that contain either the one or the  other

 

searchword.

 

 

Logic AND

 

If you want to search the last findings,

 

You enter     z      

 

 

            1.   “z”  as a searchword for “zoom”,

                  hit Return.

 

2.      A blue frame will open for input.

3.      Enter the searchword to zoom for

And hit Return.

 

 

e.g., first search “shop”

        zoom with “Geschäft”

 

This will bring all lines that contain

“shop” as well as “Geschäft”

 

 

 

Search by instring

 

            Your search follows the string you enter

            As a searchword.

 

e.g., if you enter “electr” your search will find all lines

that contain the instring.

 

It will find         electric

electrical

                        electricity

                        electronic

                        electrolytic

                        electromotive

and many more.

 

 

 

Search using inverted commas

 

Separate words

 

                                   “ put “                                                

 

            Using inverted commas you may

            search for separate words as opposed to

           instrings in other words.

 

e.g., “ put ” (there is a space at the beginning

as well as at the end)

will find “put”  as a separate word

and  leave out combinations such as “input”.

 

 

 

Words beginning with a string

                                   

 

               

Are found using inverted commas and a Space

At the beginning of the searchword,

 

e.g., “ in” will find all words  beginning with “in”

 

(The data must have a Space at the beginning

of each line to ensure words at the beginning

of a line are included in the search.

 

 

Words ending in a string

                                  

                                                                  

 

            Use inverted commas and a final Space

           To find words ending in the search string.

 

e.g., “ing “ will find words ending in “ing”

 

 

 

 

Mark – copy – search

 

A very convenient way of roaming through the language.

 

 

 

                                              

 

 

1.      While in List-mode, hold down the left mouse key

and  mark a word.

 

2.      Then copy the word with Ctrl / C

 

3.      Hit Escape to leave List-mode.

 

4.      The cursor appears in the input frame in Search-mode

 

5.      Ctrl / V will enter the previously marked and copied

word as a searchword and  start the search without

further clicking.        

 

This is a very fast way of moving around.
