Replacing text strings

To replace occurrences of an existing string with a new string:

  1. Press DO
  2. Enter REPLACE "old" "new"
  3. Press RETURN

The first occurrence of old will be highlighted and you will be ask how to proceed. You can reply:

Y
Replace with the new string and then move to the next occurrence of the old string.
N
No replacement but move to the next occurrence of the old string.
A
Replace this occurrence and all subsequent ones.
L
Replace this occurrence and then stop.
Q
Stop immediately. Do not replace this occurrence of the old string.

If the strings are left out of the REPLACE command, you will be asked for them.
