3.8.2 Replacing a section of text

Sometimes you will want to replace a section of text with some other text. The Irie Pascal Integrated Development Environment (the IDE) allows you replace sections of text.

The first step in replacing a section of text is to select it (see selecting text for more information). Then you can either type in the new text, or you can paste the new text from the Windows clipboard. In either case the selected text is deleted and replaced by the new text.

NOTE: Since it is possible to replace text by accident (all you have to do is forget that a section of text has been selected, and type some more text or paste some text from the clipboard), it is a good idea to unselect sections of text after you are finished working with them.
