I just installed the Advanced Find/Replace (Simply downloaded advanced_find-3.6.0.tar.gz, extracted it and used bash ./install.sh in the terminal) plugin for gedit 3.18.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It seems the installation was successful:Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere in the bar in order to use it, even after restarting the computer:
When the Find Widget is opened, it will automatically populate the selected text in the editor into the find input box. If the selection is empty, the word under the cursor will be inserted into the input box instead.
If you want it to be the default behavior of the Find Widget, you can set editor.find.autoFindInSelection to always, or to multiline, if you want it to be run on selected text only when multiple lines of content are selected.
When you type text into the Replace text box, you will see a diff display of the pending changes. You can replace across all files from the Replace text box, replace all in one file or replace a single change.
The modifiers can also be stacked - for example, \u\u\u$1 will uppercase the first three characters of the group, or \l\U$1 will lowercase the first character, and uppercase the rest. The capture group is referenced by $n in the replacement string, where n is the order of the capture group.
JavaScript and TypeScript developers can take advantage of the npmjs type declaration (typings) file repository to get IntelliSense for common JavaScript libraries (Node.js, React, Angular). You can find a good explanation on using type declaration files in the JavaScript language topic and the Node.js tutorial.
In addition to the default formatters, you can find extensions on the Marketplace to support other languages or formatting tools. There is a Formatters category so you can easily search and find formatting extensions. In the Extensions view search box, type 'formatters' or 'category:formatters' to see a filtered list of extensions within VS Code.
Yes, expand the Search view text box to include a replace text field. You can search and replace across all the files in your workspace. Note that if you did not open VS Code on a folder, the search will only run on the currently open files.
Does anyone know of a way in Komodo, or using Zen Coding, or any website or application, that can do this kind of slightly more advanced find/replace / text-expansion? I've seen a few applications that do find and replace but they all base themselves around multiple files and that's a bit much for what I need.
You run searches to find specific items in PDFs. You can run a simple search, looking for a search term within a single file, or a more complex search, looking for various kinds of data in one or more PDFs. You can search using either the Search window or the Find toolbar. Acrobat searches the PDF body text, layers, form fields, and digital signatures in either case. You can also include bookmarks and comments in the search. Only the Find toolbar includes a Replace With option.
Use the Search window to search words or document properties across multiple PDFs, use advanced search options, and search PDF indexes. For example, you can search across all PDFs in a specific location or all files in an open PDF Portfolio. The Replace With option isn't available in the Search window.
Indicates the information to be matched, which you type in. If the first menu selection is a date, you can click the arrow to open a calendar that you can navigate to find and select the date you want.
Use between two words to find documents that contain both terms in any order. For example, enter Paris AND France to identify documents that contain both Paris and France. Searches with AND and no other Boolean operators produce the same results as selecting the All Of The Words options.
Use to search for all instances of either term. For example, type email OR e-mail to find all documents with occurrences of either spelling. Searches with OR and no other Boolean operators produce the same results as selecting the Any Of The Words options.
Use parentheses to specify the order of evaluation of terms. For example, type white AND (whale OR ahab) to find all documents that contain either white and whale or white and Ahab. (The query processor performs an OR query on Whale and Ahab and then performs an AND query on those results with white.)
You can search for an expression and use the \n wildcard character to replace the search string with the rearranged expression. For example, type (Newman) (Belinda) in the Find what box and \2 \1 in the Replace with box. Word will find "Newman Belinda" and replace it with "Belinda Newman."
Thank you for your comment. Sorry, there is no option to delete the selected values, you can only replace them.
Yet, we also have Find & Replace included into ULtimate Suite. This tool offers an option to select all the found items in your worksheets, then you can simply delete them.
Probably few people are familiar with, and even fewer use, the advanced feature of Microsoft Word's Find and Replace function. However, this feature may often prove to be extremely helpful in the translator's work. It can be accessed from the Find and Replace dialog box and it is called, depending on the version of Word, Use pattern matching orUse wildcards. The advanced feature only works after you have checked this option. If it is not presented to you in the dialog box, click the More button.
By highlighting portions of the text, the search can be limited to that portion of the document. Word will perform the search in this portion and then will ask you whether you wish to continue to search in the rest of the text. Click the No button. Replacement can also be performed in the interactive mode by first pressing the Find button and, upon reaching the desired string, deciding whether replacement is required. If so, you press the Replace button; if not, press Find Next.
1. Eliminating extra spaces
In our work we often accidentally type two or more spaces between words. You can easily replace multiple spaces with a single space using the advanced Find and Replace feature.
After selecting the Use wildcards option, type the following in the appropriate boxes:
The expression in the Replace with box means: retype the string found by inserting a non-breaking space between the digits while leaving the digits and their order unchanged. This is indicated by \1 and \2. The caret (^) with the letter s following it is the symbol of a non-breaking space. It can also be inserted by clicking Special and then Nonbreaking space. The same non-breaking space can also be inserted by typing a caret followed by the character's ANSI code, in this case 0160. This method allows any character to be inserted as long as its ANSI code is known. In this case the replace expression would look as follows:
The Find what box means: look for any expression where a string consisting of numbers, periods and commas immediately follows the $ sign. The disadvantage of this method is that any phrase or sentence ending on "$," or "$." will also be converted. We must check before using the replace function whether there is such an expression in the text to be searched. If so, the "$," and "$." expressions to be left unchanged must first be replaced by any unique expression (e.g., $comma and $dot) using the regular find-and-replace function and they must be changed back after the replace operation. This artifice can be used in general whenever the harmful side effect of an otherwise useful replace operation is to be avoided.
When replacing complex expressions, it is convenient to first break down the expression into its components, test the replacement of the components, and then work out a replace formula for the entire expression.
The find-and-replace function can also be applied in many other cases, for example, in replacing date formats. It is worth learning how to record and write macros in Word, because even complex tasks can be performed by combining find-and-replace and macros.
Often the solution of a problem requires some ingenuity. The specific replace formula must always be tested on a test file before using it in an actual translation. The test file can be produced by copying and pasting a portion of the actual text into a new document via the clipboard.
Attention must be paid to typing the expressions accurately, since a single extra character may make the replace formula unusable. For this same reason, it is recommended that tested and proven replace formulas be saved for future use. They can also be recorded as macros, in which case they can be reused at any time, rather than reinvented over and over again.
Much time can be saved in translating legal, financial, and technical texts by using properly written find-and-replace formulas. The time and effort spent familiarizing yourself with the advanced find-and-replace feature of Word may yield rich dividends in increased productivity.
But, other than doing two separate search-and-replace, i haven't found a way to do this, which preserves the argument.I think the regex version of search-and-replace may be able to do this, but I'm not nearly proficient at regexes to know how.
As stated in the overview, Advanced Find can search the entire model (or selected views) and returns a comprehensive results "tree" that you can expand or collapse. You can double-click a result to automatically locate to the occurrence. The results tree shows the results grouped by the views in which they are found, and you can click to show results by the type of data. You must have adequate permissions to the material you are searching in order to find it.
After executing an Advanced Find, the number of results found is shown, and the results are organized by View or Type. Depending on the size of the result set and what your intent is, you may or may not want to replace all results due to potential performance issues.
