Find & Replace page

The Find & Replace page allows text within the database to be found and/or replaced with other text.

To find the next occurrence of text within the database, enter the target text in the Find text box and push the Find button.

The first record containing the text will be displayed (behind the property page). If the OK button is pushed this record will become the current record. However, if the Cancel button is pushed the display will revert to the record which was displayed before the Find & Replace page was displayed.

The Find search may be carried out in a number of ways; by searching all fields in the database (by checking the Search all fields checkbox) or just a specified field (selected from the Search field drop-down list). Case insensitive searches may be carried out by checking the Ignore case checkbox.

The Find search may be started at the beginning of the database (i.e. the first record) or at current record moving forwards or backwards through the database by selecting the appropriate Search direction radio button.

Text may also be replaced by other text by entering the text to be found in the Find text box, and the text to be inserted in place of the found text in the Replace with box, then pushing the Replace button. The Search direction and fields searched in a Replace operation are as described above for a Find operation, and the first occurrence of the found text will be used.

If the Confirm replacements checkbox is checked then a confirmation is requested before the replacement takes place.

If the Replace All button is pushed then dLabel will attempt to replace the first occurrence of the Find text all records in the database using the direction, case, field and confirmation parameters currently set.

Newline characters may be included in Find text and Replace with text by using /p (i.e. forward slash followed by p).
