Intersection of two sequences

[franktaw at netscape.net]

Incidently, if you're sure that there are terms between 296 and 2928, 
but don't know how many, you can search for "296,__,2928"; if you know 
there's exactly one, search for "296,_,2928" (again, without the 
quotes).

Hello! Thanks! Maybe I have seen this explained before but did not 
recall. 
It works! We are working with sequences here where we are not certain 
of terms in between two terms, so there had to be way to locate such a 
sequence.
