Documentation

Definition

A mapped string is a character string assigned to a search string. It specifies the extent to which the found location should be changed after a successful search ("mapping").

If the search string and accompanying mappying are essentially identical (except for search string characters with a special significance, such as "*"), the found location is returned unchanged.

Mapping is specified in the definition of a search string.

Example:

Search string "A#B" and mapping "X#Y":

A -> X

# -> #

B -> Y

When this is applied to the text "A3B", the result is "X3Y".
