- The Search & Replace function lets you define the
- transaction PAY / DESC description to search for and the
- description to replace it with. Any viewable
- transaction in the Transaction List which matches the
- defined description will be highlighted and its
- description replaced.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------
-
- The following list describes the functions available in
- the Search & Replace Requester. The order of these
- functions corresponds to the order they appear in the
- requester's menu bar. You can select any function using
- either the keyboard (shown as "Keyboard:") or mouse
- ("Mouse:").
-
-
- Search Menu
-
- Okay
-
- Accept the defined search and replace descriptions
- and proceeds from the current position in the
- Transaction List to locate the first transaction
- which matches the description and replace its
- description.
-
- Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA Y
- Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
-
- Cancel
-
- Terminate the definition of the search and replace
- descriptions and restore the previous descriptions
- and conditions (Use Wildcards, Verify Replacement,
- and Global Replacement).
-
- Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA N
- Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
-
-
- Conditions Menu
-
- Use Wildcards
-
- Toggle the use (YES or NO) of the wildcard
- characters, '?' and '*', for pattern matching
- purposes.
-
- If used (YES), the '?' character will match any
- single character while the '*' will match zero or
- more successive characters.
-
- If not used (NO), the Search For description will
- be taken verbatim, meaning that a transaction must
- match all characters exactly. You would use this
- if the description contained either or both of the
- wildcard characters. If the Case Sensitive option
- is selected, the descriptions do not necessarily
- have to match verbatim, although the spelling of
- both descriptions must match.
-
- Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA W
- Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
-
- Case Sensitive
-
- Toggle the requirement (YES or NO) that for two
- descriptions to match, they must both match in
- spelling and case.
-
- If required (YES), the Search For description will
- only match a transaction's PAY / DESC description
- if both are spelled the same and the case of each
- letter is the same.
-
- If not required (NO), the Search For description
- will match any transaction PAY / DESC description
- that is spelled the same.
-
- Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA C
- Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
-
- Verify Replacement
-
- Toggle the verification (YES or NO) of each
- replacement of the Search For description with
- the Replace With description. This option
- toggles off (NO) the Global Replacement option.
-
- If verify (YES), each match will produce a request
- verifying if that the current transaction should be
- modified.
-
- If no verify (NO), each match will be replaced with
- the Replace With description without any user
- intervention. This effectively replaces all
- matches fairly quickly.
-
- Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA V
- Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
-
- Global Replacement
-
- Toggle the ability (YES or NO) of replacing all
- transactions in the checkbook (and not just those
- currently viewable in the Transaction List) whose
- PAY / DESC description matches the Replace With
- description without verification from the user.
- This option toggles off (NO) the Verify Replacement
- option.
-
- If global (YES), each match in the entire checkbook
- will be replaced, without prompting of the user,
- and the checkbook entries that matched will be
- updated.
-
- If not global (NO), only those transactions
- currently viewable in the Transaction List will be
- analyzed for a matching PAY / DESC description.
-
- Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA G

- Display the Description List Requester for you to
- select a phrase to be placed in either the Search
- For or Replace With input field. If the cursor is
- currently in the Search For input field and this
- function is selected, the selected description will
- be placed in the Search For input field, replacing
- the previous description. If the cursor is
- currently in the Replace With input field and this
- function is selected, the selected description will
- be placed in the Replace With input field. If the
- cursor is not shown at all, the selected
- description will be placed in the Search For input
- field.
