Hi there,

I wanna ask is -exact of lsearch case sensitive? If it is, what option should I choose not to have the case sensitivity. Thank you.

I also got question regarding the file operation. If I wanted to update the file with the data from variable call "$data" which is a list. What should I do if I want to skip the first few line of the file from been overwrite. Thank you.

If you have questions about particular commands, check the manual. There's no -nocase option in the latest stable release, so your best bet is to do a case insensitive regexp match

It can indeed handle multiple replacements at once.
In order to achieve this, create a list with odd numbered elements being the key to look for, and even elements being what to replace it with. Order is of importance in some cases, as string map will scan the list and stop at the first match (ai needs to come before a, otherwize a will always make the match).
A simple example of a "map":
