Re: Looking for XyWrite

[TBaehr@xxxxxxxx]

I think there's a switch in Xy4 that does a CI for a certain number of times:
CI/4 /old/new/

The delimiters can be any character as long as they're all the same:
CI/4 *old*new*

Search can do the same thing:
SE/5 "old" finds the 4th instance of old.

(Shortcut: follow the SE command by 2 spaces and enter a single-word search
target. The spaces act as delimiters since the command line is automatically
padded with trailing spaces.

SEword
will find the next instance of the word "word".)

CV=Change and verify, stopping at each instance
CH=Change and show the changes but don't stop
CI=Change Invisible: freeze the display and make the changes without showing
them on-screen until the process ends

I believe CH works differently in Xy3 and Xy4--you'll have to experiment.
