CHANGE Command

The CHANGE command changes occurrences of a character or a string of characters to another character or string of characters. You can use this command when editing certain components (see the last note at the end of this command description).

You can restrict CHANGE to an inclusive range of lines and columns with the LINES and COLUMNS operands or by using the SET EDIT BOUNDS command. You can also change a specific number of occurrences of a character or a string.

This command has the following format:

CHANGE [ALL] [FORWARD ] /string‑a/string‑b/
       [n  ] [BACKWARD]
       [LINE[S] start‑line [end‑line]]
       [COLUMNS start‑column [MAX       ]]
       [                     [end‑column]]
