<tmdoc-title|Search and replace>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can start searching text by pressing <key|C-s> or <menu|Edit|Search>.
|
||
|
|
During a search, the ``search string'' is displayed at the left hand side
|
||
|
|
of the footer. Each character you type is appended to this search string
|
||
|
|
and the next occurrence of it is surrounded by a red box. When pressing
|
||
|
|
<key|C-s> a second time during a search, the next occurrence is being
|
||
|
|
searched. A beep indicates that no more occurrences were found in the
|
||
|
|
document; pressing <key|C-s> will continue the search at the beginning of
|
||
|
|
your document. You may press <key|backspace> in order to undo key
|
||
|
|
presses during a search.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usually, text is being searched for in a forward manner, starting from the
|
||
|
|
current cursor position. You may also search backwards, using <key|C-r>.
|
||
|
|
During a search, only text in the same mode and the same language will be
|
||
|
|
found, as those which are active at the position where you started your
|
||
|
|
search. In other words, when searching an <with|mode|math|x> in math-mode,
|
||
|
|
you will not find any x's in the ordinary text. As a current limitation,
|
||
|
|
the search string can only contain ordinary text and no math-symbols or
|
||
|
|
more complicated structured text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A query replace is started by pressing <key|C-=> or <menu|Edit|Replace>.
|
||
|
|
You are prompted for a string which is to be replaced and the string by
|
||
|
|
which to replace. At each occurrence of the string to be replaced you are
|
||
|
|
prompted and you have to choose between replacing the string (y), not
|
||
|
|
replacing it (n) and replace this and all further occurrences (a). Like in
|
||
|
|
the case of searching, the query-replace command is mode and language
|
||
|
|
sensitive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current search and replace system is still quite rudimentary in the
|
||
|
|
sense that it only deals with plain text in a simple way. In the future, we
|
||
|
|
plan to implement a more powerful search and replace mechanism for
|
||
|
|
structured text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the time being, you may nevertheless search and replace arbitrary
|
||
|
|
document fragments as follows: somewhere inside your document or another
|
||
|
|
window, select the fragment you want to search using <menu|Edit|Copy
|
||
|
|
to|Search>. Next hit <key|C-s> twice or more in order to search all
|
||
|
|
occurences of this fragment inside your document. Similarly, using
|
||
|
|
<menu|Edit|Copy to|Replace>, you may select a second fragment by which you
|
||
|
|
want to replace the first one. In order to start the replacement,
|
||
|
|
hit<nbsp><key|C-=> and specify the empty string as the arguments for
|
||
|
|
``<localize|Replace>'' and ``<localize|Replace by>''.
