You can search and replace text with the Search dialog box.
Call this box by choosing Find from the Edit
menu or click on the corresponding button 
.
This form allows you to search or replace text using different criterions:
-
The character string to be searched for must be entered in the Search
for input area.
-
If the UPPER=lower button is selected, a case-insensitive
search is performed; otherwise, the string is searched for as it appears
within the "Search for" input area.
-
Strings can also be replaced using the same operation. The replacement text is
entered in the Replace by input area and a replacement mode
is selected from the Replace menu. The replacement modes are
as follows:
-
No replace: no replacement occurs even if the ``Replace by''
input area contains a character string. It is just a simple search.
-
Replace on request: when the string is found, it is selected.
The user can then select one of the following buttons:
-
Confirm to replace and carry out the search again.
-
Do not replace to search for the next instance without
replacing the string which has been found.
-
Automatic replace: all instances of the string searched for
are automatically replaced within the portion of document defined in the
"Search where" menu.
-
The Search where menu allows you to specify the part of
document in which the search occurs:
-
Before selection: the search starts at the beginning of the
selected part and moves backwards to the beginning of the document.
-
Within selection: the search only occurs within the selected
part, from its beginning to its end.
-
After selection: the search starts at the end of the selected
part and moves forwards to the end of the document.
-
In the whole document: the search is carried out in the whole
document from the beginning to the end regardless of which part is selected.
To initiate the search operation, click on the Confirm button
at the bottom of the form. If the string searched for is found, it is selected
and the document is positioned so as to make this string visible; you can then
search for the next instance of this string by selecting the
Confirm button again. If the string is not found, the "Not
found" message appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the form.
Search or replace can be abandoned at any moment by clicking on the
Done button.
Note: the replacement operations cannot be undone (there is no "Undo" command
in this version).
