HOW TO FIND OR REPLACE A TEXT STRING
A. To find a text string,
choose Find String from the Edit Menu or press ^F. This
will display an option box with three settings:
1. Search For What String. Type any text string here that you
would like to find. Use a "?" (question mark) to act as a
wild card. For example, if you enter "B?D," PC-OUTLINE will
find "BAD" or "BED" or "BCD" or "BZD."
2. Force Case To Be The Same. Setting this to "Yes" causes
PC-OUTLINE to match only those strings that have the same
capitalization as in the Search For What String setting.
For instance, if you enter "Bad," PC-OUTLINE will find only
"Bad," not "bad" or "baD."
3. Search Scope. Setting this to "Only ON Entries" causes
PC-OUTLINE to search only those entries that are presently
showing (unhidden). Setting it to "All Entries" causes
PC-OUTLINE to search through the entire outline, hidden or
not.
B. Position the cursor here and try to find the text string
"Again" by entering the letters in the Search For What
String setting.
C. Now choose Find Again from the Edit Menu and see where the
cursor lands.
D. To replace one text string with another,
choose Find And Replace from the Edit Menu or press ^R. This
will bring up an option box with six settings:
1. Search For What String. Behaves the same as in the Find
String function.
2. Replace With What String. Enter a string to replace with.
For example, if Search For What String is set to "Sad" and
Replace With What String is set to "Happy," all occurrences
of "Sad" will be changed to "Happy."
3. Force Case To Be The Same. Behaves the same as in the Find
String function.
4. Search Scope. Behaves the same as in the Find String
function.
5. Ask Before Replacing. If this is set to "Yes," PC-OUTLINE
will prompt you at each occurrence before replacing. If
it's set to "No," PC-OUTLINE will replace without prompting.
6. All Occurrences. If this is set to "Yes," PC-OUTLINE will
find all occurrences. If it's set to "No," PC-OUTLINE will
find just the first occurrence.
E. Position the cursor here and replace the text string
"PC-OUTLINE" with the string ">> PC-OUTLINE <<." Just
type the text into the Search For What String and Replace
With What String fields, and change the All Occurrences
setting to "Yes." You'll be prompted with a confirm box
before each replacement is made.
