Abstract

A data-processing device (100) has: input means (101) for receiving an input (113, 114) for selecting a string of symbols from a collection (104) of symbol strings; a memory (102) for containing the collection (104); and a processor (103) for processing the collection (104) and for presenting a selection (105) of the collection (104) at least partially on a display screen (106). The selection is based on the initial symbol of the string. However, if an operator desires to select a first string (107) of symbols having: a first portion (108) containing an initial symbol (110); and a second portion (109) containing a second initial symbol (111), the operator needs to remember the distribution of the content over the portions. This is especially cumbersome if the distribution has semantically little significance, for instance, with portions containing a surname and a given name. This is improved by the processor (103) being arranged to add (112) the first string (107) of the collection (104) to the selection (105) in response to the input means (101) receiving an input (113, 114) associated with either of the initial symbol (110) and the second initial symbol (111).
