Text Tool

Search is where to enter text you want to find in your text you're editing. Replace is the text you want to use as a replacement for the text in the Search box. If the replace box is left blank the search text is deleted. Use \t in the replace fields for a tab.

Search2 and Replace2 are the same as the above Search and Replace feature. These boxes allow you to perform an additional search and replace at the same time.

When Ignore case is checked text in the above search boxes ignore case and find matches that are either uppercase or lowercase.

When Only replace once is checked text entered in the search boxes is only matched once and if any other matches are found they are ignored.

Perform search by line instead of looking at all text as a whole. Helpful, if you have multiple lines separated by new lines and only want to find match if the Search text is on one line and not multiple lines.

If Beginning of line is checked, the Search text is only matched if it's at the beginning of the line.

If End of line is checked, the Search text is only matched if it's at the end of the line or the end of the text.
