If you omit WORD, EDIT changes all occurrences of a character string to a
new string. WORD is useful when the string to be changed might also be
imbedded in other words— for example, and appears inside candlestick and
command. If the current file is:
11 Thomas, Tom
12 The piper's son
13 Stole a pig
14 And away he run.
15 The pig was eat
16 And Tomwas beat,
17 And Tomwent crying
18 Down the street.
19 Thomas, Tom
20 The piper's son
21 He learned to play
22 When he was young;
23 But all the tunes
24 That he could play
25 Was "Over the hills
26 And far away."
then with the following command:
*CHANGE WORD BOTH ALL "tom"TOM" ALL
11 Thomas, TOM
19 Thomas, TOM
*
EDIT searches the entire file and changes every uppercase and lowercase
word tom it finds to TOM.
Omitting the keyword WORD in this case produces the following results:
*CHANGE BOTH ALL "tom"TOM" ALL
11 Thomas, TOM
16 And TOMwas beat,
17 And TOMwent crying
19 Thomas, TOM
*
Every uppercase and
lowercase combination of
the string tom is changed.
