WILDCARD FIND

  Searches for a pattern of text by using wildcards (sometimes called meta-
  characters), and highlights the found text.

  You can use VMS- or ULTRIX-style wildcards, depending on your setting
  (default is VMS). For a list of the available wildcards, use SHOW
  WILDCARDS.

  Key:   EVE defines GOLD-FIND on the mini keypad as WILDCARD FIND.

  Steps:

     1.  Use the WILDCARD FIND command or press GOLD-FIND.

     2.  Type the pattern you want to find (see examples below).

  Examples:

   ULTRIX       VMS          Matches....
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   b.t          b%t          B or b, followed by any single character and a
                             T or t, such as "bit" in "rabbit."

   b*d          b*d          B or b, followed by any number of characters on
                             a line and a D or d, as in "be kind."

   b[aeiou]     b\[aeiou]    B or b, followed by a vowel.

                July**31     "July 31" separated by any amount of text or
                             whitespace (tabs, spaces, line breaks).

   July$31      July\>31     "July" at the end of a line followed by "31" at
                             the start of the next line.

                1\D\%        Strings like "12%" or "10%."

  Usage notes:

  o  If there is no occurrence in the current direction, EVE automatically
     searches in the other direction. If there is an occurrence in that
     direction, EVE asks if you want to go there---press RETURN for Yes, or
     type No and press RETURN.

  o  If an occurrence is found, EVE puts the cursor at the start of the
     found text and highlights the found text in bold video.

  o  To edit the found text, use a command or key that works on a range or
     box, such as COPY, BOX CUT, FILL, REMOVE, or UPPERCASE. If SET BOX
     SELECT is in effect, an editing operation on the found range uses the
     start and end of the range as diagonally opposite corners of a box. See
     help on Ranges And Boxes.

  o  To cancel the highlighting, move the cursor out of the found range or
     use RESET (for example, press GOLD-SELECT). To find another occurrence
     of the same string, use FIND NEXT or press the FIND key twice.

  o  Case sensitivity for WILDCARD FIND is usually the same as with FIND. To
     make the search case-exact, particularly to find lowercase occurrences
     only, use SET FIND CASE EXACT. Some wildcards make the search case-
     sensitive---for example, with VMS wildcards, \L (for a lowercase
     letter), \U (for an uppercase letter).

  o  White space sensitivity for WILDCARD FIND is usually the same as with
     FIND. To make the search treat spaces, tabs, or a line break as white
     space, use SET FIND WHITESPACE. Some wildcards affect how the search
     treats white space---for example, with VMS wildcards, ** (any amount of
     text, crossing lines) or \W (for white space).

  o  You can use a direction-setting key as a terminator key for WILDCARD
     FIND to make the search begin in a particular direction:

        1.  Use WILDCARD FIND, letting EVE prompt you for the search string.

        2.  Type the search string and press a direction-setting key---for
            example, with the EDT keypad, press KP5 for REVERSE.

     If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction
     of the buffer (shown in the status line).

  o  GOLD-FIND is a "sleeper" key---it is defined by default, but the
     definition must be activated by setting a GOLD key or by setting the
     EDT or WPS keypad. See help on Gold Keys.
