If Archive check box is checked (5), the deals that meet the selected criteria will be added to the archive file without stopping.

The archive filename consists of the date and the extension appropriate to the archive type selected from the archive chechbox pop-up menu.

To archive hands with a selected bidding sequence, enter that sequence as in example (3). The sequence must contain at least one "-" character.

For multiple combinations you can use "*" and "?" (never 1? or ?1 or *? or ?*):

• "*" instead of each character (examples: -1*- or -*S-);

• "?" without any other sign instead of the entire bid (example -?-);

• "*" instead of P or X (example -*-);

• "**" instead of any bid excluding P and X (example -**-);

• the leading "-" allows for initial passes (excluding X and XX).

By typing: ?-2*-**-*-*n you could find:

W N E      S      

                      1D

2C    2H*1   P      2N

P      3N     P      P

P

or

W      N      E      S      

P      2H     3H*1   P

3N*2   P      4C     P

P      P

• to find auctions with double type: X-

• to find auctions with redouble type: XX-

• to find final contracts with double type: X-p-p-p

• to find final contracts with redouble type: XX-p-p-p

from version 8732

• to find the exact sequence starting with P: p-2h-p-2n

• to find the exact sequence starting with 2H: 2h-p-2n

• to find the sequence by allowing the initial passes: -2h-p-2n

• to find the final contract type (4S example): 4S-p-p-p

• to find any contract at the level type (6* example): 6*-p-p-p

• to find final = initial contract by allowing the initial passes: -2h-p-p-p

In the case of bid sequences, the results are counted exceptionally only for hands containing these sequences.

To archive hands with a specific convention, select this convention as in example (3).
