Using Text Editors
3
Enter the character you want to search for.
• The cursor will move to the next occurrence of that character to the right on
the current line.
• If the character is not on the current line, the cursor will move to the end of
the line.
How to Move the Cursor to Specified Line
You should be in edit or command mode to use the goto command to move the
cursor to a specified line.
1
If you are not in edit mode, type ^E to get into edit mode.
2
Type g or G.
The cursor will move to the status line, which will display edit: goto:.
3
Type the number of the line you want to go to, and press ENTER.
• The cursor will move to the line you specified.
• If you type a line number that is greater than the number of lines in your
file, the cursor moves to the last file line.
How to Search for a Specified String
Use the command-mode FIND command to search for the next occurrence of a
specified string of characters. The cursor will move to the beginning of the next
occurrence of the specified string, and the editor will enter insert mode. If the
string is not found, the editor remains in command mode.
A question mark (?) in the search string is treated as a wild card. It will match
any character in that position.
A caret (^) as the first character of the string indicates the beginning of a line. A
caret that is not the first character is not treated specially. (Note that the ^
symbol does double duty. It usually stands for holding down the CONTROL
key while you press another key, or it can stand for itself as the first character of
a string.)
FIND Command
1
If you are not in command mode, type ^C to enter command mode.
2
Type find. The command line will display the prompt Search mask.
3
Type the character or characters to search for.
• The cursor will move to the first character in the specified string and the
editor will enter insert mode.
• If the string is not found, the editor stays in command mode.
