Finding and replacing text

To search for an item in your document or file view, first do the following to open the Find/Replace input area:

Select Edit from the main menu.
Select Find/Replace. The Find/Replace input area appears at the bottom of the Editor pane.

Specify the item to be searched for and replaced by doing the following:

Type a search item in the Find text entry area. This can be a word, a partial word, or a sequence of such.
Type the replacement word in the Replace text entry field.
Select your desired options.
Click Next or Previous. If the entered text or pattern is found, the cursor moves to either the next or previous occurrence of the search item, according to your chosen search direction, and locates the found text according to your selections. If you want to change the found text, click Replace. Repeat this step to find and replace multiple occurrences of the chosen text in your file.
Alternatively, click Replace all. All occurrences of the chosen text are replaced and only lines where replacement has occurred are shown in the Editor pane. All other lines are hidden from view. If you have enabled the Expand/hide area controls, a symbol appears to represent parts of your file where lines have been hidden from view. Clicking on the symbol displays those hidden lines. To show all lines again, select Edit->Show all from the editor menu bar.
Close the Find/Replace text entry area by pressing Esc.
