Cross-references for complex numbers

The method described in the previous item is useful if the star identification is a figure only.

When the identifier is a letter or a complex number which has the form "sector - ring - number", one should use the command tab and the option -k.

Be careful about the structure of the complex identifier and the position of the white spaces.

This option may also be used to search for stars identified by letters. However the search is not selective. Searching for A will display all lines containing an A.

Example:

tab -k 32- 37 displays the line containing "32- 37"
