4.3.3.3.1 The Replace Dialog
The Replace dialog box is used to search for and replace text in the current file, and
is a part of the Windows Common Dialog Library. Since the Replace dialog box is a part
of Windows and not a part of the Irie Pascal IDE, its look and functionality is subject to
change, and may not correspond exactly to the documentation below.
This Replace dialog box should look similar to the image shown below:
This Replace dialog box contains the following elements:
- Find what text box - This is where you would type the text you want to
search for.
- Replace with text box - This is where you would type the replacement text.
- Match whole word only check box - This is where you would specify whether
you want the search to succeed only if the text is a whole word (i.e. when the text is not
embedded in a word). For example, when this check box is checked, then a search for the text
for will not find anything in the word form because the
for in form is embedded. On the other hand, when this check box is
not checked the same search will find the embedded for in form.
- Match case check box - This is where you would specify whether you want the
search to be case sensitive. For example, when this check box is checked, then a search for the
text for will not find For, or FOR because the case does
not match. On the other hand, when this check box is not checked then same search will succeed.
- Find Next button - Use this button to search for the next instance of the
text in the Find what text box. NOTE: The Replace dialog
box remains on the screen after the search is completed, so that you can easily repeat the
search.
- Replace button - Use this button to search for the next instance of the
text in the Find what text box, and replace it with the text in the
Replace with text box.
- Replace All button - Use this button to search for all instances of the
text in the Find what text box, and replace them with the text in the
Replace with text box.
- Cancel button - Use this button to remove the Replace dialog
box from the screen.
