Character Search (Find and Replace Dialog Box)

(1)

Specify [Search text]

Enter characters to search.

A word (including a variable, function, etc.) at the caret position in the Editor panel is specified by default.

If you want to change it, directly enter the characters into the text box (up to 1024 characters) or select from the input history in the drop-down list (up to 10 history entries).

(2)

Specify [Search location]

Select [Current document (file name)] from the drop-down list.

(3)

Click the [Find Previous]/[Find Next] button

When the [Find Previous] button is clicked, search will start in the order from the large address number to small and the search results are displayed selected in the Editor panel.

When the [Find Next] button is clicked, search will start in the order from the small address number to large and the search results are displayed selected in the Editor panel.

Remark 1.

Click the [Option] button to specify to use wild card, case sensitivity, word by word search, and so on.

Remark 2.

All character strings for the search in the characters area are highlighted by a beige background color except in the case of searches with wildcards or in the [Match whole word] checkbox. Highlighting of the character string for the search is canceled by pressing the [Esc] key.

 

Incremental search can be started by pressing the shortcut keys (normally [Ctrl] + [I] or [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [I]).

In incremental search, search is performed at once when characters are input. The search results are displayed selected in the Editor panel.

The input character string is displayed on the status bar. If there are no matches, [Not found] is displayed on the status bar.

All character strings for the search in the characters area are highlighted by a beige background color.

If the [Esc] key is pressed, incremental search is terminated.

Backward incremental search is the same as incremental search except for the search direction being reversed.
