                               FIND and REPLACE

    The Find and Replace instruction in PC-TYPE+ has 4 basic modes:

    (1) Find the string regardless of case toward the end of the
        file and replace it with a new string.     /String1/String2/

    (2) Find the string identical in case toward the end of the
        file and replace it with a new string.     \String1\String2\

    (3) Find the string regardless of case toward the beginning of the
        file and replace it with a new string.    -/String1/String2/

    (4) Find the string identical in case toward the beginning of the
        file and replace it with a new string.    -\String1\String2\



                              Press the PgDn Key



    The first example below is a case insensitive find and replace
    toward the end of the file.  You will be replacing the string aaaa
    with the string BBBBB in this exercise.  Follow the instructions
    provided.


    Move the cursor to the asterisk below, and then press the Esc key to
    move the cursor to the Command Line.│ On the Command Line, type
                                        │
                    /aaaa/BBBBB/        │
                                        
    and press the Enter key.           (*)

    Answer the first two questions by pressing the 'Y' key.  Answer the
    third question by pressing the 'X' key to make a Global Change.


    aaaa   Aaaa  aAaa  aaAa aaaA AAAA  (Press the PgDn key)


    The messages you encountered provide you with the flexibility you
    need.

    (1) Replace? (y/n - or x --> Yes and don't ask)
        If you respond with Y, the substitution will be made as you saw.
        If you respond with X, the substitution will be made to the string
        located and all subsequent strings in the file, again as you saw.
        If you respond with N, no substitution will be made and the next
        question will be presented.

    (2) Find NEXT? (y/n - or x --> Yes and don't ask)
        Y will go to the next occurrence of the string and repeat (1).
        N will end the "search and replace" feature of PC-TYPE+.
        X will make the substitution at all subsequent locations in the
        file.

                              Press the PgDn Key

    It's that easy.  Incidentally, if at any point you want to STOP
    the Find and Replace process, press the ESC key.           ----
                                  -----------------


    If you want to replace the string in a similar fashion toward the
    beginning of the file, you merely start the instruction on the Command
    Line with a minus sign.  Place the cursor on the asterisk below.─┐
                                                                     │
     ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
     │  Then press the Esc key to move the cursor to the Command Line and
     │  type:
     │         -/cccc/DDD/  (When this line is on the bottom, press PgDn)
     │
     │  then press the Enter key and answer the question by pressing the
     │  X key.
                        cccc  Cccc cCcc ccCc cccC CCCC
    (*)




                          (PRESS the PgDn key again!)





    As you saw above, the string to be replaced would be found regardless
    of case in either direction.

    If you wanted to distinguish between eeee and Eeee, the only
    difference you would need to make on the Command Line would be to
    replace the '/' characters with '\' characters.  For example,

    \The\For\

    on the Command Line would replace every occurrence of "The" with "For"
    toward the end of the file.  A string "the" would not be recognized
    as a find string.

    Similarly, to replace all the "The"s with "For"s toward the beginning
    of the file, you would type

    -\The\For\        on the Command Line.

                              Press the PgDn Key




    Place the cursor on the asterisk below and press the Esc key to go to
    the Command Line.  On the Command Line type:

    \Ffff\Ggg\

    and press the Enter key.

    Answer the question with X.  Notice that only those strings which
    are IDENTICAL in case to Ffff are changed to Ggg.
