INMEMO can also be used as a simple yet powerful table lookup and conversion utility. Using a variation of the pattern search option, you pass to INMEMO a pattern string, and it returns to you the remainder of the text on the line it found the pattern on. Using the example of the shipping methods above, you could pass it a string containing "2," and it would return "UPS BLUE." Again, using an appropriate opcode switch, you can provide advanced operators or programmers the ability to update the tables without ever leaving the program in which the table is queried.
