RE: Find and Replace dialog question

["Brian D. James" <bjames@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Buck,

> change asis ,int,integer,bottom,1,?

This works perfect, thanks for the post.

IMHO, the CODE developers should put this prompted replace as an option on
the Find/Replace dialog box. They could  simply add a "Prompt Before
Replace" check box on the Options page. How about it Hak?

Thanks again, Buck.

Brian

<esc> to get to the command line, then:
change asis "int"integer"bottom""?

will change int to integer from the current position to the bottom,
prompting each change.  See the help at
http://localhost:49213/cgi-bin/vahwebx.exe/vahelp/va400/Extract/0/lpex/ref/r
lchangc.htm#top (V5R1)  I did Help, Editor Reference, Commands Summary,
change.

For those without web access, the double quotes are delimiters, and delimit
the start of each argument.  I could just have easily used commas:
change asis ,int,integer,bottom,1,?

The parameters are:
asis/any - case sensitivity
int - the "find" string
integer - the "replace" string
bottom - an editor command that determines the lines affected
1 - number of changes allowed in each line
? - prompt for each change before it happens

find works from the command line, and you'll love regular expressions!
