#### **vars({Variable1=Value1, Variable2=Value2, ...})**
Initializes custom variables for use in various commands, extending beyond standard variables like CNT, MATCH, CAP1. These variables can carry the status of previous find-and-replace operations to subsequent ones.
**Note:** This command was previously named `init(...)` and has been renamed to `vars(...)`. For compatibility, `init(...)` still works.

Custom variables maintain their values throughout a single Replace-All or within the list of multiple Replace operations. So they can transfer values from one list entry to the following ones. They reset at the start of each new document in 'Replace All in All Open Documents'.

Custom variables maintain their values throughout a single Replace-All or within a list of multiple Replace operations. Thus, they can transfer values from one list entry to subsequent ones. They reset at the start of each new document in **'Replace All in All Open Documents'**.

An empty Find string (`*(empty)*`) can be used to set variables for the entire Find and Replace list without being tied to a specific Find action. This entry does not match any text but is executed once at the beginning of the 'Replace' or 'Replace All' process when 'Use List' is enabled. It allows the Replace field to run initialization commands like `vars()` for the entire operation. The position of this entry in the list does not affect its behavior.
