8-7 Alteration of Word (Expanded Tape Editing)
At the program screen, search a designated word to be altered in the program and rewrite it to a
word to be altered.
There are following two methods for alteration of word.
1) Search one word each and alter if after confirmation.
2) Alter words collectively (or after words continuously with display an altering condition).
The words to be altered collectively are maximum 400,000 words.
A method to search a word is the same as the word search, words combined one character of
alphabet (or “#” mark) and numerals becomes the number search as words showing the numeral
value and recognize it with or without a decimal point.
For example, of changing “X.1” to “X.5”, a row of characters such as “X0.1”, “X0.100”, “X00.10”,
“X.1” or “X.100” which coincide with “X.1” as numeral value, become the object of alteration and
change all to “X.5”.
Also, if adding a “?” mark on the word to be changed as “X.1?” such as changing “X.1?” to “X.5”,
a row of characters “X.1” becomes the object of alteration, then “X1” becomes “X.5” and “X.100”
becomes “X.500”, however, “X.01”, “X0.100” and “X00.10” does not have the row of character
“X.1” so it does not become an object of alteration.
