RE: Find and Replace dialog question

Hello Jim,

In most cases like this instead of the FINDNEXT macro I use the ZOOM macro
so that only the lines with the selected text string are displayed. From
there, you can paste over the string. I have modified my profile.lx to have
the ZOOM macro bound to the <Ctrl+K> key but you can press <Shift+F12> to
see which key you have it bound to. For me, the ZOOM macro is a huge
productivity booster and one macro I would not want to do without.

What type of text string are you changing? Is it an RPG field or format name
or just some text string in the comments?

Regards,

Brian

Subject: Find and Replace dialog question


Greetings!

Using the find and replace dialog is cumbersome. I want to replace multiple
occurrences of the same find string, but to view them before they are
replaced.  Not all need to be replaced.  I need to do this over multiple
files I have loaded into Code editor.  I can/have set up a key  (alt 'N'
with find next macro) set that will let me find the next occurrence of the
string in the find prompt, but have no way to do a replace without bringing
up the dialog box, and clicking on the replace button.  Is there a way
(command to put in a macro - or some other way to assign to a key) to tell
find and replace to replace this occurrence and find the next occurrence?
