Find and Replace Overview
The Find and Replace subsystem adds powerful search and replace capabilities to the Visual Basic environment. It can perform code searches and replacements at different scopes like method, component, project or even on an entire project group. The target can be a single code line or multiple lines and can contain patterns. Comprehensive result lists are always displayed to inform you on the operation status.
The Find and Replace system consists of:
-
The Find and Replace dialog where you set the text or the regular expression to search for and/or replace. Also, operation options can be set here.
-
The Find in Files tabs (panes) of the Enhanced Immediate Window that hold the result lists of two different Find and Replace instances. Additionally, a Find History combo box can be used in order to track the last performed search and/or replacement operations separately for each set of results.
