| <h1>Using the Find/Replace dialog</h1> |
| |
| <p>To open the Find / Replace dialog:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Optionally, select some text in a text (or Java) editor</li> |
| |
| <li>Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> or</li> |
| |
| <li>From the menu bar, select <span class="control">Edit > Find / Replace</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>To use the Find / Replace dialog:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the <span class="control">Find</span> field, enter the text you want to replace</li> |
| |
| <li>Optionally, in the <span class="control">Replace With</span> field, enter the next text</li> |
| |
| <li>Use the radio buttons in the <span class="control">Direction</span> group to select the direction of finding occurrences (relative to the current caret position)</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| In the <span class="control">Scope</span> radio button group: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Selected Lines</span> button if you want to limit find / replace to the lines you selected when opening the dialog</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">All</span> button otherwise</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| In the <span class="control">Options</span> group: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Case Sensitive</span> checkbox if you want finding to be case sensitive.</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Whole Word</span> checkbox if you want to find / replace only those occurrences in which the text you entered in the <span class= |
| "control">Find</span> field is a whole word</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Wrap Search</span> checkbox if you want the dialog to continue from the top of the file once the bottom is reached (if you find / |
| replace in Selected Lines only, then this option applies to those lines only)</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Incremental</span> checkbox if you want to perform incremental find (e.g. the dialog will find matching occurrences while you are |
| typing in the Find field)</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the <span class="control">Regular Expressions</span> checkbox if you want to perform regex search. |
| When Regular Expressions are enabled, you can use content assist (<kbd>Ctrl+Space</kbd>) in the Find and Replace fields to get support for regex syntax.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Press: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><span class="control">Find</span> if you want to find the next matching occurrence</li> |
| |
| <li><span class="control">Replace</span>, if you want to replace the currently selected occurrence with the new text</li> |
| |
| <li><span class="control">Replace / Find</span>, if you want to replace the currently selected occurrence with the new text and find the next matching occurrence</li> |
| |
| <li><span class="control">Replace All</span>, if you want to replace all matching occurrences with the new text</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Press <span class="control">Close</span>.</li> |
