- <h2><a name="L1042">Searching and replacing text</a></h2>
-
- <p>You can search and replace text with the <strong>Search</strong> dialog
- box. Call this box by choosing <strong>Find</strong> from the
- <strong>Edit</strong> menu or click on the corresponding button <img
- src="../Icons/find.gif" alt="find " />, or use the keyboard shortcut
- (control-shift-% in Unix, control-f in Windows)</p>
-
- <p>This form allows you to search or replace text using different
- criteria:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>The character string to be searched for must be entered in the
- <strong>Search for</strong> input area.</li>
- <li>If the <strong>UPPER=lower</strong> button is selected, a
- case-insensitive search is performed; otherwise, the string is searched
- for as it appears within the "Search for" input area.</li>
- <li>Strings can also be replaced using the same operation. The replacement
- text is entered in the <strong>Replace by</strong> input area and a
- replacement mode is selected from the <strong>Replace</strong> menu. The
- replacement modes are as follows:
- <ul>
- <li><strong>No replace</strong>: no replacement occurs even if the
- ``Replace by'' input area contains a character string. It is just a
- simple search.</li>
- <li><strong>Replace on request</strong>: when the string is found, it is
- selected. The user can then select one of the following buttons:
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Confirm</strong> to replace and carry out the search
- again.</li>
- <li><strong>Do not replace</strong> to search for the next instance
- without replacing the string which has been found.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Automatic replace</strong>: all instances of the string
- searched for are automatically replaced within the portion of document
- defined in the "Search where" menu.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>The <strong>Search where</strong> menu allows you to specify the part of
- document in which the search occurs:
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Before selection</strong>: the search starts at the
- beginning of the selected part and moves backwards to the beginning of
- the document.</li>
- <li><strong>Within selection</strong>: the search only occurs within the
- selected part, from its beginning to its end.</li>
- <li><strong>After selection</strong>: the search starts at the end of
- the selected part and moves forwards to the end of the document.</li>
- <li><strong>In the whole document</strong>: the search is carried out in
- the whole document from the beginning to the end regardless of which
- part is selected.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>To initiate the search operation, click on the <strong>Confirm</strong>
- 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
- <strong>Confirm</strong> button again. If the string is not found, the "Not
- found" message appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the form.</p>
-
- <p>Search or replace can be abandoned at any moment by clicking on the
- <strong>Done</strong> button.</p>
-
- <p>Replacement operations can be undone with the Undo function (in the Edit
- menu, or keyboard shortcut control-z).</p>
