Re: [U2] UniVerse:ED:Query
Practically any non-alpha character can be used for a separator in the change/replace command. I routinely use commas, periods, backslash, forward slash, bar, even semicolons and single quotes will work. But in the case you show (FIRST^253HARI/PROG) and you want to get rid of the last value. I would use the line break (B) and delete the line created. (ex. B T will break the at the T, press enter to go to the next line which should be ^253HARI/PROG, then use D to delete the line). - Original Message - From: "Gary Gowans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 10:22 AM Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse:ED:Query Hari T.

So, c.HARI/PROG.. would result in FIRST^253 If you want to get rid of the field mark too, then you could do c.^253HARI/PROG.. or B T which would "break" after the "T", and then to get to the new line two and D to delete the entire new line two. Or you could simply do a "R FIRST" which would replace the entire line with "FIRST". This btw is probably the method I'd least prefer for what you're trying to do, but it is an option.
