ALL - select and display restricted set of lines
Syntax:
  ALL [rtarget]

Description:
  The ALL command allows for the selective display, and editing (subject to SET SCOPE ) of lines that match the specified target. This target consists of any number of individual targets separated by '&' (logical and) or '|' (logical or).

  For example, to display all lines in a file that contain the strings 'ball' and 'cat' on the same line or the named lines .fred or .bill, use the following command

  ALL /ball/ & /cat/ | .fred | .bill

  Logical operators act left to right, with no precedence for &.

  rtarget can also be specified as a regular expression. The syntax of this is "Regexp /re/". eg ALL R /[0-9].*$/

  ALL without any arguments, is the equivalent of setting the selection level of all lines in your file to 0 and running SET DISPLAY 0 0.

Compatibility:
