Replace Text dialog box

The Replace Text dialog box is where you specify the text to search for and what to replace it with. To begin the search, choose Find Next, Replace, or Replace All. Choose Cancel to abandon it.

Find what input box

The Find what input box is where you enter the search string.

Replace with input box

The Replace with input box is where you enter the replacement string.

Options

When the Match whole word only check box is checked, Instant Text looks for the string as a whole word (not as a substring of another word).

When the Match case check box is checked, Instant Text differentiates upper-case from lower-case when performing a search.

Find and Replace buttons

Find Next

Finds the next occurrence of the string.

Replace

If the search string is selected, it is replaced by the replacement string. Otherwise, the effect is the same as that of Find Next.

Replace All

Instant Text replaces all occurrences of the search string found.


After the first replacement the Cancel button becomes a Close button. The dialog remains open until you choose the Close button. This allows you to do several search and replace actions while the dialog is open.
