Find aL and replase to a.L

Find aL and replase to a.L - Ctrl+h

No problem to do it in Mathcad 15

How can I do it in Prime?

You can't - after all its Prime, its made by PTC. So you can't expect such an "advanced" feature.

@ttokoro

Valery knows about Find and Replace in Prime.

What he wants is to change every occurrence of "aL" and change it to "a.L" where "a.L" means "a with index L". In Mathcad 15 you typed a.L for an indexed variable name and it was easy to change all "aL" to the indexed variant.

In Prime you have to type more awkward "a Ctrl - L" to get "a index L" and there seems to be no way to distinguish simple "aL" and "a index L" when it comes to search and replace.

Just a small one out of of the many drawbacks of Prime.

Thanks.

I know it. But it is not one solution of the problem.
