+3. `to`           - *Required*, substring replacing
+                    corresponding substring from `from`. 
+
+4. `repeat`       - *Optional*, number of times the replacing
+                    should be repeated, default is 1.
+                    Useful while removing multiple adjacent 
+                    characters, e.g. compress all multiple

+## >>> `%findDSwithVarVal()` macro: <<< <a name="finddswithvarval-macro"></a> #######################  
+
+The findDSwithVarVal() macro searches for all 
+datasets (available for a given session) containing 
+a variable of a given value.
+
+The value search is case sensitive - but can be altered with `IC=` parameter.
+The value search keeps leading blanks - but can be altered with `TB=` parameter.
+The value search compares full value - but can be altered with `CTS=` parameter.
+
+The default variable type is `char`, the `type=` parameter allows 
+to change it (possible values are `char` and `num`), the parameter is case sensitive.
+
+Only datasets are searched, views are not included.
+
+During the process two temporary datasets named: 
+`WORK._` (single underscore) and `WORK.__` (double underscore) 
+are generated. The datasets are deleted at the end of the process.
+
+By default search results are stored in the `WORK.RESULT` dataset.
+Name of the dataset can be altered with `result=` parameter.
+The dataset with result contains two variables:
+`datasetName` - names of datasets,
+`firstObservation` - the firs occurrence of the value.
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+The `%findDSwithVarVal()` macro does not execute as a pure macro code.
+
+### SYNTAX: ###################################################################
+
+The basic syntax is the following, the `<...>` means optional parameters:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%findDSwithVarVal(
+    variable
+   ,value
+  <,type=>
+  <,ic=>
+  <,tb=>

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Arguments description**:
+
+1. `variable`     - *Required*, name of variable to be searched.
+
+2. `value`        - *Required*, the value to be searched.
+
+*. `type`         - *Optional*, default value is `char`.
+                    Indicates which type is the searched value.
+                    Possible values are `char` and `num`, 
+                    the parameter is case sensitive. 
+
+*. `ic`           - *Optional*, "Ignore Cases", default value is `0`.
+                    Indicates should the search ignore cases of the text values.
+                    Possible values are `0` and `1`.
+
+*. `tb`           - *Optional*, "Trim Blanks", default value is `0`.
+                    Indicates should the search trim leading and trailing
+                    blanks of the text values.
+                    Possible values are `0` and `1`.
+
+*. `cts`          - *Optional*, "Compare To Shorter", default value is `0`.
+                    IF set to `1` execute value comparison as `=:` for the text value.
+                    Possible values are `0` and `1`.
+                    See examples.
+
+*. `lib`          - *Optional*, default value is missing.
+                    If not empty narrows the search to a particular library.
+
+*. `result`       - *Optional*, default value is `WORK.RESULT`.
+                    Is the name of the dataset with results.

+## >>> `%getTitle()` macro: <<< <a name="gettitle-macro"></a> #######################  
+
+The getTitle() macro extract text of titles or footnotes
+into a delimited list.
+
+Titles/footnotes numbers can be selected with the `number` argument.
+Only the text of a title or footnote is extracted.
+
+Author of the original code is: Quentin McMullen (`qmcmullen.sas@gmail.com`).
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+The `%getTitle()` macro executes like a pure macro code.
+
+### SYNTAX: ###################################################################
+
+The basic syntax is the following, the `<...>` means optional parameters:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%getTitle(
+  < number>
+  <,type=> 
+  <,dlm=>
+  <,qt=>
+)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Arguments description**:
+
+1. `number`       - *Optional*, default value is empty,
+                    indicates numbers of titles to be extracted.
+                    Space separated list is expected.
+                    If empty or `_ALL_` extract all non-missing.
+
+*. `type`         - *Optional*, default value is `T`.
+                    Indicates which type is the searched.
+                    `T` fro title, `F` for footnote.
+
+*. `dlm`          - *Optional*, "DeLiMiter", default value is `|` (pipe).
+                    Possible values are: `| \ / , . ~ * # @ ! + - _ : ?`
+                    or `s` for space, `c` for comma, `d` for semicolon.
+
+*. `qt`           - *Optional*, "QuoTes", default value is empty.
+                    Use `%str()` for single quote symbol (e.g. `%str(%")`).
+                    If there are multiple symbols, only the first and the 
+                    second are selected as a leading and trailing one, 
+                    e.g. `qt=""` gives `"title1 text" "title2 text" ... `.
