Commands Purposes or Effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FIND digital Finds any occurrence of the string, regardless
of its case, such as "digital," "Digital,"
"DIGITAL," "dIgItAl," and so on.
FIND Digital 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 digital only an all lowercase occurrence.
SET FIND WHITESPACE Enables FIND to treat spaces, tabs, and up to
FIND mark twain one line break as whitespace, so you can find
"mark" at the end of a line and "twain" at the
start of the next line.
Usage notes:
o If an occurrence is found, EVE puts the cursor at start of the found
text and highlights the found text in bold video.
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 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 (see help on
Ranges And Boxes). If you used SET BOX SELECT, an editing operation on
the found range uses the start and end of the range as diagonally
opposite corners of a box.
o To cancel the highlighting, move the cursor out of the found range,
or use RESET.
o You can use a direction-setting key as a terminator key 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).
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.
