replace from file function

[Leonid Spektor]

    Unfortunately the format of editor's replace file is not the same as
CHSTRING's replace file. In editor's replace file you place one string per
line. The first line has a string to search for and the next line has
previous line's replacement string. For example:



% an example replacement file
Search string
Replacement string
Original word
New word



    The percent character is used to denote a comment, so any line that
starts with '%' character is ignored by the program. This format was chosen
to allow for long string to be specified. CHSTRING works on words, but
editor's replace command allow to replace long strings.

Hope this helps,
Leonid.
