FIND Searches for a string of text you specify and highlights the found text. Key: EVE default VT100 keypad EDT keypad WPS keypad --------------------------------------------------------------- FIND PF1 GOLD-PF3 GOLD-, on keyboard Steps: 1. Use the FIND command (see key list above). 2. Type the text you want to find (see examples below). 3. To find another occurrence of the same string, use the FIND NEXT command or press the FIND key twice. Examples: Commands Effects ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FIND mytext Finds any occurrence of the string, regardless of its case, such as "mytext", "Mytext", "MYTEXT", "mYtExT" and so on. FIND Mytext Finds an exact match---in this example, first letter uppercase and other letters lowercase. SET FIND CASE EXACT Enables case-exact searches, and then finds FIND mytext only an all lowercase occurrence. SET FIND WHITESPACE Enables FIND to treat spaces, tabs, and up to FIND mark twain one line break as white space, so you can find "mark" at the end of a line and "twain" at the start of the next line. Usage notes: o If there is no occurrence in the current direction, EVE automatically searches in the other direction. If there is an occurrence in that direction, EVE asks if you want to go there---press RETURN for Yes, or type No and press RETURN. o If an occurrence is found, EVE puts the cursor at the start of the found text and highlights the found text in bold video. o To edit the found text, use a command or key that works on a range or box, such as COPY, BOX CUT, FILL, REMOVE, or UPPERCASE. If SET BOX SELECT is in effect, an editing operation on the found range uses the start and end of the range as diagonally opposite corners of a box--- see help on Ranges And Boxes. o To cancel the highlighting, move the cursor out of the found range or use the RESET command. o You can use a direction-setting key as a terminator for FIND to make the search begin in a particular direction: 1. Use FIND, letting EVE prompt you for the search string. 2. Type the search string and then press a direction-setting key ---for example, with the EDT keypad, press KP5 for REVERSE. If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction of the buffer (shown in the status line). For more information, see help on Prompts And Responses. o In typing the FIND command, if you want to search for the word "next" or "selected," put it in quotes or let EVE prompt you for the string.
