Longest/Shortest Match

Option 'l' --> Longest <-> Shortest Match. By default QTGrep scans the current record for the longest possible match. If the user desires to find the shortest strings matching search Regular Expressions, then this option should be invoked. Practically, this option is only useful in conjunction with one or more of the options, 'M', 'I', or 'D'. The 'M' option is used for outputing the matching strings instead of the encompassing records, the 'I' option is used for outputing the match string index and length, and the 'D' option is used for highlighting matching strings

This is a local option and may be turned on or off for separate files as desired.

Incompatible Options Are:

W	Write Compiled Search Patterns
Z	File Preview
r	Replace Matches (Req Pat File)
z	Simulate Replace Matches
