- 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.
