In Mathcad 15, if you have a subscripted variable:

and you execute a Find and Replace: 

you get:

Hello fellow MC users.

Reading this thread I am wondering if any out there have a solution to doing a find and replace of all variables defined in a worksheet - eg by the use of a wildcard character.  I want to add a subscript to all variables that I have defined in a worksheet, and really don't want to go thorugh and do it to every one individually.

Thanks

Frank

In (real) Mathcad (that is, Mathcad 15 and before), the subscript is entered by typing a dot ('.') in the name, and search (and replace) works with that. (Note that a subscript is different from an index, that you get by typing '['.)

In Prime the only way to enter a subscript is using the menu.

I see no way to enter subscripts to variables by search and replace.

 

Success with the hand-job...

in 15 you don't need the period; if you type just the subscript text Mathcad will replace the text in the subscript and leave the subscript.  Prime replaces the whole variable name (full text and subscript) with your text as full text.
