Using Search and Replace

Studio provides two levels of search and replace to help you maintain your Web pages -- basic and extended.

Running a basic search

To run a basic search in the current document, choose Search > Find to locate a specific string in the current document or Search > Replace to replace all matches.

Using the extended search and replace feature

For more complex search and replace operations across documents, use the Search > Extended Find command. Or, you can use the Search > Extended Replace command to specify the replacement text as well as the string you're looking for.

The extended search and replace commands offer a number of options to refine your search:

When you choose Replace operations, you are prompted to save all untitled open documents.

The Results pane displays a list of locations where the matched string was replaced. Double-click on a match in the list to highlight it in the document. Right-click in the Results pane to clear the pane or close it.

Note

The Extended Replace command skips read-only files.

Replacing special characters

Use the Search > Replace Special Characters command to either replace extended characters with their HTML equivalents, or replace HTML tags with the equivalent extended characters. This command works only in the current document.

Replacing double-spaced lines

Because of the way different operating systems treat carriage returns, text files saved on UNIX or Macintosh systems may become double-spaced when opened in Studio. Use the Search > Replace Double Spacing with Single Spacing command to collapse double-spaced lines to single-spaced lines.
