Replicate

BRE Replicate
Reproduces the contents of a slot, or block of slots, in any part of the document. The following options are displayed:
Range to copy fromRange to copy to
Each range is a block of slots identified by specifying the coordinates of its top left-hand corner and bottom right-hand corner. If necessary, extra rows and/or columns are created in the document to accommodate the new slots.
The ranges can be one of the following forms:
1. Single slot to area
Range to copy from: a single slot, eg A1.
Range to copy to: an area, eg B3 D7, or just a row or column range. The area can include the original slot, if required.
The contents of the slot are copied over the entire area, as represented symbolically in the following diagram:
2. Column to area
Range to copy from: a column array, eg A1 A3.
Range to copy to: a single slot or a row array, eg B5 D5.
The column is copied to the target column starting at either the single slot, or the range of slots given by the target row.
3. Row to area
Range to copy from: a row array, eg A1C1.
Range to copy to: a single slot or a column array, eg B5 B7.
The row is copied to the target row, starting either at the single slot or at the range of slots given by the target column, as shown on the following page:
4. Area to area
Range to copy from: an area, eg A1 B2.
Range to copy to: a single slot, eg C5.
The area is copied to the area with the top left-hand corner defined by the single slot.
If the slots contain slot references, the references are updated to take account of their altered position, unless they are fixed with the $ operator.

BC Copy
Copies a marked block of slots to the position in the document indicated by the cursor. Slots in the document will be moved apart to make space for the block being copied, in contrast with the Replicate command which overwrites the target area.
Slot references in the new block are updated as for the Replicate command, but references to slots within the block are not altered.

BSO Sort
Sorts a marked block of slots. Text slots are sorted into alphabetical order, expression slots into numeric order, and date slots into date order. The following options are displayed:
Sort on columnSort in reverse order NoDon't update references No
Sort on column: set to a column label (A, B, C etc) to specify which column within the marked block should be used to determine the ordering of the slots.
Sort in reverse order: by default, the marked block is sorted into ascending order, and any slot references are updated as appropriate. Setting this option to Yes will sort the specified column in descending order.
Don't update references: setting this option to Yes inhibits the updating of slot references within the block being sorted. This gives a faster sort operation, and can be used provided no slots within the sorted block are referred to either from within or from outside the sorted block.

BSE Search
Search is for a specified string within a single document, or a multi-file document. The following options are available:
String to search forSearch only range of columns NoEquate upper and lower case YesSearch only marked block NoSearch from current file NoSearch all files in list No
The string to be searched for is specified in the same way as for the Replace command, and the equivalent options have the same effect; see below.
When the search is completed, a message such as
27 found
will be displayed where 27 is the number of matches since the last Search command.

key to cancel the command. When the command is completed, the message
27 found
(or as appropriate) will be displayed to show the total number of replacements that have been made.
String to search for: specifies the search string, which can be up to 240 characters in length.
Certain special sequences of characters can be used in the search string to represent characters which cannot be typed at the keyboard, or classes of search string:
| Sequence | Matches |
|---|---|
^1..^8 | Highlight character |
| ^^ | ^ |
| ^? | A single character – not space |
| ^# | Any number of non-space characters (ie a word) |
| ^S | A space |
| ^Rref | Slot reference ref |
| ^R# | Any slot reference |
| space | One or more spaces, or across slots |
| ^B | Beginning of a slot (or line) |
Replace with: specifies the string to replace each occurrence of the search string. The following special sequences of characters can be used:
| Sequence | Substitutes |
|---|---|
| ^1..^8 | Highlight character |
| ^^ | ^ |
| ^?n | Character matching nth ^? in search |
| ^#n | String matching nth ^# in search |
| ^S | A space |
| ^Rref | Slot reference ref |
| ^R#n | Slot reference matching nth ^R# |
| space | Matching spaces or slot boundary |
Up to nine ^? fields, nine ^# fields and nine ^R# fields, numbered 1 to 9, can be used in the same replace string.
The ^# wild field will match zero characters, as long as the string which has been searched for contains at least one character (otherwise the wild field would match all spaces).#
