| Bscp:
1: no special commands; 2, 3, 4, 5 One Term table (see in Term/Entry lists) |

4 references are automatically date/time stamped for both initial creation/import/transfer and most recent modification: editing a reference "File" -> "Get Info" |
6 Spellchecker | ||||||
| Bscp: yes, can define which fields are to be checked | BK: no | LM: no | Pr: no |
En: yes
|
RM: yes (check highlighted text or entire reference), can add/import words and use a different dictionary (.TLX files) | Papyrus: yes, uses third-party software; can individually define spell-checking for any -also built-in- field |

| Bscp: yes | BK: yes | LM: yes | Pr: yes | En: yes | RM: yes | Papyrus: yes |
8 Duplicates detection

10 Global corrections
| ||||||
|
Bscp: 1 3 4 (here it does not have a real search/replace string function: acts on entire field; must use the Search Lookup facility + right click and Replace to change an entry, where also regular expressions can be used)
|
BK: 1 2 (also any field in the records; no word, case, yes style and font) 3 4 5 6 will search for any string of text, l/r truncated (not an indexed search), no internal wildcards: m?ss | LM: 1 2 3 5 6 (you can accomplish 4 via another function : Merging records from different databases)
3 You can search for * and replace with nothing to delete the field entry of all records or search for a specific field contents and delete it |
Pr: 1 2 3 4 5 | En: 1 2 3 4 5 (since v. X can find and replace <CR> and <Tab>) | RM:1 no (but can add entire field content); 2 also a) on any, cluster or individual, field; b) across 15 different databases; 3; 4; 6 use * as suffix for any character in editing list terms across records via Term Manager (does not work to delete periodical names), "Match word" and "Match case" options for non-indexed fields | Papyrus: 1 2 3 4
(can ask to confirm each replacement and to adopt target's case) |
