XCHANGE Replace one pattern with another
Command key: X or CTRL—X
Command prefix: Varies
Location: KEYWORD Command Menu
EDIT Command Menu (Paragraph Editor)
See also: KEYWORD; EDIT
When you give the KEYWORD/XCHANGE command (command key
X), ThinkTank prompts you for a search pattern and a
replacement pattern. It then examines the headlines and
paragraphs beneath the bar cursor headline and replaces all in-
stances of the search pattern with the replacement pattern.
Instances must match the search pattern by character and case
(upper and lower). You can set a command prefix to limit the
replacement to a certain number of levels beneath the bar cur
sor headline.
When you select XCHANGE (command key CTRL—I) from the
EDIT Command Menu in the paragraph editor, ThinkTank displays
the XCHANGE Command Menu which gives you two ways of replacing
patterns. The options are:
* BROWSE: Stops at each occurrence of the search pat-
tern and lets you choose whether to replace. (Com-
mand key CTRL—X)
* ALL: Replaces all occurrences of the search pattern
from the flashing cursor to the end of the para-
graph. (Command key CTRL—A)
* ESCAPE: Cancels or concludes the XCHANGE command
and returns to the Top Level of the paragraph
editor. (Command key ESC)
Occurrences must match the search pattern by character and
ease. See the reference guide listings under these options
for further information.
