Command Description

primary output stream. Messages that do not meet the specified criteria are passed
to the secondary output stream, if connected.
Streams
182 Programming: Pipes
If the input message is a multiline message, only the first line is examined. If
selected, the entire multiline message is passed to the primary output stream.
The selection criteria is specified by giving a position.length within the message line
to be compared against:
v Another position.length within the message line or
v A /string/
If one of the two strings being compared is shorter than the other, the shorter
string is padded with the PAD character before comparing the two strings.
Stream Type Number Supported
Input 1
Output 2
Termination Conditions
PICK terminates when the input stream or both output streams disconnect.
Operand Descriptions
= Selects the message if the two strings being compared are equal.
¬= Selects the message if the two strings being compared are not equal.
< Selects the message if the first string being compared is less than the second
string.
