*REPLACE -[s | l | e]<delim><occur> str1 str2 |
This function replaces str1 with str2. Both strings must be delimited,
the default char being ' The search operates within a line and does
not resize it, this must be done manually using *wrap.
You must specify short long or event text, and if an occurence is given
it will skip to replace the nth entry as requested if found. The delimiter
can be any standard punctuation character.
Examples :
: *replace -s2 'from' 'form'
changes the second occurence of from to from in the short desc.
: *replace -l 'give out' 'take in'
changes the first text with a space in it to a second similar text.
: *replace -l"3 "doesn't give" "does not offer"
