CTRL+A

Search again for the string specified by the last search command (for example, repeat last search command). If a search string is not specified, the terminal beeps and displays a message.

CTRL+A string

Search for the first occurrence of the specified string. If a match is found, the cursor displays on the first character of the matched string; otherwise, the cursor remains at the current location. When CTRL+A is pressed, Update Processor prompts for the search string at the top of the screen. The search string is not case sensitive. To search for letters that are case specific, enclose the string in single or double quotation marks. If the string itself contains quotation marks, enclose those quotes in quotes.

CTRL+A string1 CTRL+R string2 CTRL+N

Search for and replace every occurrence of the first string with the second string from the current position of the cursor to the end of the item. When CTRL+R is pressed, Update Processor prompts for the replacing string. After entering the new text, press CTRL+N to indicate all occurrences.

The text is replaced as entered. However, if the replacement is at the beginning of a sentence, the initial letter is replaced as an uppercase letter. To specify an exact replacement of uppercase and lowercase letters, enclose the text in single or double quotation marks.

CTRL+A string1 CTRL+R string2

Search for the first occurrence of string1. If a match is found, the cursor displays on the first character of the matched string and Update Processor waits for one of the following commands:

CTRL+A

Do not replace string1; search again for next occurrence.

CTRL+N

Replace string1 with string2; replace all further matches.

CTRL+R

Replace string1 with string2; search again for string1.

CTRL+X

Stop search and return to edit mode.
