Re: wildcards on xy-III

  I never put that command to work. If you try

CI /aNb/cNd/

  what you get (in xy 3.56) is the "cNd", but litteral: from 'a6c' you
get 'cNd', your matched 6 dissapears override by an "N".
  It doesn't exists changes with wildcards, only SEarchs.
  The only solution is the workarroud in XPL, executing for each
occurrence the program you want ().
