ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) _______________________________________________________________________________ \<pat>\ "backward search" DESCRIPTION: To search backward from the cursor position for a specific pattern, use one of the following forms: \<pat>\ ?<pat>? The first form of the command shown, "\<pat>\", should be used while in AEGIS regular expression mode (the default). The second form, "?pat?", should be used while in Unix regular expression mode, which can be set via the "-expr unix" command line option or the "Ce.expr: unix" X resource in your .Xdefaults file. <pat> is either a regular expression or null. In AEGIS mode, <pat> must conform to AEGIS regular expression syntax. In Unix mode, <pat> must conform to Unix regular expression syntax. If <pat> is null (that is, if the command is either '\\' or '??'), the pattern used in the most recent forward or backward search is used again. If no previous search pattern was given, an error message is displayed. If <pat> is non-null, the search begins at the cursor position and proceeds toward the beginning of the file, until either an occurrence of the pattern is found or beginning of file is reached. If the pattern is not found, an error message is displayed, and the cursor remains in its original position. If a match is found, the cursor is placed at the first character in the occurrence. If the cursor is already on an occurrence of <pat> when the search commences, that occurrence will be ignored.
