Search and Replace Options

B  Search and replace backwards,  i.e.  search and
   replace   from  the  current  cursor   position
   towards the beginning of the text.
G  Global  search  and replace,  i.e.  search  and
   replace in the entire text, irrespective of the
   current cursor position.
n  n = any number.  Find and replace n occurrences
   of the search string,  counted from the current
   cursor position.
N  Replace without asking,  i.e.  do not stop  and
   ask  Replace  (Y/N) for each occurrence of  the
   search string.
U  Ignore upper/lower case,  i.e. regard upper and
   lower case alphabeticals as equal.
W  Search and replace whole words only,  i.e. skip
   matching  patterns which are embedded in  other
   words.
L  Search and replace local to marked block only

                                                                more ..
Examples

N10  Find  the next ten occurrences of the  search
     string and replace without asking.
GWU  Find  and  replace whole words in the  entire
     text. Ignore upper/lower case.
W    Search for whole words only,  i.e. the search
     string  'term'  will  only  match  the   word
     'term', not the word 'terminal'.
BU   Search backwards and ignore upper/lower case,
     i.e.  'Block' will match both 'blockhead' and
     'BLOCKADE', etc.

Terminate the list of options with <─┘,  and  the
search and replace starts. If the search string is
found,  the cursor is positioned at the end of it,
and  you must response to  the  question:  Replace
(Y/N)?.  You may abort the search and replace ope-
ration at this point with the Abort command (Ctrl-
U).  The  search and replace operation may be  re-
peated by the Repeat last find command (Ctrl-L).
                                                                more ..
A  global  search and replace  with  the  N-option
specified  (Replace without asking) normally shows
each replacement on the screen.  This is suspended
if you press any key, resulting in a faster opera-
tion.
