Replace
{***)
Purpose:
Replaces
all
occurrences
of
a
string
of
text
in
a
range
with
a
different
string
of
text.
Syntax:
[line][,line][?]rtextl
control-z
text2
Comments:
The
first
and
second
line
options
specify
the
range
of
lines
that
the
R
(replace)
command
uses.
Each
time
edlin
finds
textl,
it
replaces
it
with
text2,
displaying
each
line
that
changes.
If
a
line
contains
two
or
more
replacements,
it
is
displayed
once
for
each
change.
When
edlin
has
made
all
the
changes,
the
R
command
ends
and
the
asterisk
prompt
reappears.
If
you
want
to
replace
one
string
of
text
with
another,
you
must
separate
the
two
with
a
control-z.
You
can
end
the
second
string
by
pressing
the
return
key.
If
you do
not
specify
textl,
the
R
command
assumes
the
old
(the
previous)
value.
If
this
is
the
first
replacement
that
you
have
made
during
the
current
editing
session,
and
if
you
do
not
specify
textl,
the
command
ends.
If
you
do
not
specify
text2,
you
must
end
textl
by
pressing
the
return
key.
If
you
omit
the
first
line
option,
edlin
uses
the
line
after
the
current
line,
by
default.
The
default
for
the
second
line
option
is
#.
Remember
that
#
refers
to
the
line
after
the
last
line
of
the
file.
If
you
end
textl
with
a
control-z
and
do
not
specify
text2,
edlin
assumes
you
want
blank
spaces
for
text2.
For
example,
suppose
you
want
to
delete
all
occurrences
of
the
word
clients
from
your
file.
To
do
this
you
could
simply
type
the
following
command,
then
press
control-z
and
return:
re
1ients
The
next
command
replaces
clients
with
the
previous
text2:
re
1ient5
The
following
command
makes
the
previous
textl
become
the
previous
text2:
(R)eplace
Deleting

occurrences
of
a
