The text editor provides options to both search for text and replace text within text blocks.
Find
This option searches for a word or phrase within the current text block.
The find tab includes a search field and a few options that let you refine the search.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Find what | The text field where you enter the word or phrase that you want to find |
| Match case | Checking this option means that the search becomes case-sensitive |
| Match whole word | Checking this option limits the search operation to whole words. For example: When match whole word is checked and the search term is option, you will find all instances of option, but not the words optional or options |
| Match cyclic | Checking this option means that after the editor reaches the end of the text, the search continues from the beginning of the text |
Replace
This option allows a word or phrase to be replaced with an alternative word or phrase, within the current text block. To perform a replace, press the replace button in the editor's toolbar. The following dialogue will be displayed:
The "Replace" tab consists of a search field, a replace field and a few options that let you refine the operation.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Find what | The text field where you enter the word or phrase that you want to find |
| Replace with | The word or phrase that will replace the search term |
| Match case, while word and cyclic | These have the same functions as the find options |
You can also replace all occurrences of the search term in one go. To do that, press the "Replace all" button. The editor will then replace all occurrences and display a pop-up window with the result of the operation.
