Chapter 10 / EDLIN Command Reference
Replace String (R)
[linel][,line2][?]R[stringl] [ CTRL 1m [string2]
Replace all occurrences of stringl with string2. The
replacement is limited to the lines between linel and line2.
Notice that you must terminate stringl by typing I GTRL I []],
then begin string2 immediately followjng the I GTRL I []] char-
acter. Terminate
string2 by typing another I GTRL I []] or
I ENTER I.
Each time Replace finds stringl, it replaces the stringl
with string2. It displays the line in which it has made a
replacement.
If a line contains more than one replacement,
Replace displays
it once for each occurrence.
When all occurrences of
stringl in the specified range are
replaced with string2, the Replace command terminates,
and
the EDLIN prompt (*) reappears.
? tells Replace to prompt you
with o. K. ? each time it mod-
ifies a line.
Press y to accept the change. Press N to reject
it.
In either case, the search continues, starting at the next
occurrence.

If you omit linel, Replace starts the search at the line
immediately following
the current line; it stops at line2.
If you omit line2, Replace continues the search to the end of
the file.
If you omit both linel and line2, searching begins at the
line
that immediately follows the current line and ends at
the end of the file.
If you omit string2, EDLIN deletes all occurrences of
stringl in the specified line range.
If you omit stringl and string2, EDLIN uses the most
recent
string specified with a Search (or Replace) command
as stringl, and the most recent string specified in a
Replace command as
string2.
