Thanks Frank, you've renewed my faith in minivend.  This works as
advertised.

I still have one small problem.  When doing my search (say for CategoryB)
in a file that contains the category column with the data:

CategoryB
CategoryB:SubCategoryA
CategoryBSubCategoryC

The search [area  scan
                sf=category
                fi=partcat
                sp=catwalk
                se=CategoryB]

will, understandably (depending on what is considered a word boundary),
return 'CategoryB' and 'CategoryB:SubCategoryA'.  

Unfortunately, trying to get an exact match (with em=yes) doesn't
affect the search results.  And after, re-reading the em and mv_searchspec
documentation, I'm not too surprised.

So my question is, "Is there a way to get the search to only succeed
if the searchspec matches the entire category field?"

This isn't a critical question, BTW, the work around is to just remove
the ':'s from the category.

Thanks again,
