CHANGE is a freeware program, that changes an existing string to a new
one in a given set of EDIT type files.

Command syntax is:

  CHANGE [temp];[B][W]/old/[new]/[;bw/ / /..] [NOT <temp>[;<temp> ..]   or
                      "old"[new]"[;bw" " "..] [NOT <temp>[;<temp> ..]


where
  temp      = template defining a set of EDIT type files. Files,
              matching the template but not being an EDIT file, are
              ignored.
              Wildcards are supported.

  B         = when present, defines that the string comparison is
              done in a non case sensitive manner (both);
              when missing, enforces case sensitivity.

  W         = when present, defines the string being a word, which is
              surrounded by non alphabetical characters (word);
              when not present, defines [old] as any embedded string.

              B and W work exactly as in the good ol' EDIT program!

  old         defines the string that has to be replaced;
              embedded blanks are supported.
              Max. 80 bytes are allowed.

  new         defines the new string, that replaces the old one.
              embedded blanks are supported.
              Max. 80 bytes are allowed.

              The keyword  CURRENTLOC  is translated to the current
              location. It is NOT case sensitive!
              e.g.
                CHANGE *;BW/$DSMSCM.PWQASEEP/CURRENTLOC/

  Up to 10 change strings can be defined. They have to be separated by
  semicolons, e.g.:

    CHANGE *;bw/today/tomorrow/;w/$ghs1/$ghs2/; ...



  NOT         defines files which have to be skipped.
              Up to 10 file names/templates are supported.
              File names have to be separated by semicolons.
              e.g.: CHANGE *;bw/old-string/new-string/ NOT file1;file2;path*





I am pretty sure, that this software works - because I use it myself,
and distribute it along with my products.
Anyway: There is NO warranty from GreenHouse, that the software works
OK in your environment.
In case it does not, please let me know and I fix it - for free!
