| <div role="main"><h1>C/C++ Find/Replace</h1> |
| <p><strong>Ctrl+F</strong> (or <strong>Edit > Find/Replace</strong>) displays the <strong>Find/Replace</strong> dialog. |
| Here you can specify text to search for and optionally text with which to replace it. |
| </p> |
| <p><img src="../images/find_replace_dialog.png" alt="Find and Replace Dialog Box" ></p> |
| <p>You can specify:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The direction (forward or back from the current cursor location)</li> |
| <li>The scope (<strong>All</strong> for the whole file or <strong>Selected Lines</strong> to search only |
| within the highlighted area)</li> |
| <li>Whether the search is <strong>Case Sensitive</strong> or <strong>Whole Word</strong>. |
| You can also specify whether the search wraps at the end of the file.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>If you close the <strong>Find/Replace</strong> dialog with text in the <strong>Find</strong> field, |
| you can use <strong>Ctrl+K</strong> (or <strong>Edit > Find Next</strong>) or |
| <strong>Ctrl+Shift+K</strong> (or <strong>Edit > Find Previous</strong>) to go to the next |
| occurrence of that text. |
| The directions for "Next" and "Previous" |
| are not affected by the <strong>Direction</strong> setting in the <strong>Find/Replace</strong> dialog. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span> |
| Wildcards are not currently supported for searches.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Incremental Find</h2> |
| |
| <p>You can also choose <strong>Incremental Find</strong> from the <strong>Find/Replace</strong> dialog. |
| With this option selected, each letter you type in the <strong>Find</strong> field |
| causes the editor focus to move to the first complete occurrence of the text |
| you are typing. |
| You can also use incremental find by pressing <strong>Ctrl+J</strong> (<strong>Edit > Incremental Find</strong>). |
| In this case, the text you type appears in the Status Line at the bottom of |
| the Eclipse window. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span> |
| The settings in the <strong>Find/Replace</strong> dialog do not affect the operation |
| of incremental find in the Status Line.</p> |
