Fixed Record Length

Option 'E' --> Fixed Record Length. This option will set the length for fixed length records. If the scan file has records of fixed length instead of delimited by carriage return/line feed character sequences, this option can be used to enable QTGrep to scan such files. Files which may fit this catagory are files written by database programs or specialized application programs. Also, FORTRAN source files may be of fixed length, mimicking the 80 character punched cards on which FORTRAN programs were originally written. Specifying a record length of zero will revert to records delimited by the current terminator character string.

The corresponding long option is: --fixed-record-length=NUM
