2.5.1 SEARCHING WITH WILDCARDS

In find strings, the inverse question mark (?) will match any character, just as in DOS

filenames:

Find>TH?S?

will match both "THESE" and "THOSE". Wildcards in replace strings leave the relevant

characters in the text unchanged, so:

Find>(?)

Change to>(?.)

will place a dot after any single, unknown parenthesized character.

Search strings may be surrounded by spaces to ensure that only whole words are

matched. In the case of words followed by punctuation symbols, a macro to perform

multiple search/replaces through the text could be written. See macros (section 6).

Note that in order to search/replace the inverse question mark literally, you must turn

wildcard searching off with the “Set Options” command (see above).
