RE: Find and Replace dialog question

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Brian;

I am trying to find and replace things in COBOL such as "Move
Wordy-Field-Name-One to Wordy-Field-Name-Two" or "Wordy-Field-Name-Three of
Wordy-Record-Name-Four".  I may only want to change the record name, but
only when the field name three is found with it.
