Replace Edit Box

The Replace section of Find / Replace in the Project Commander has a button labeled “Start” and an edit box labeled “Replace with”. Type into the edit box the text or expression that is to replace what you find during a Replace operation. Click on the “Start” button to start a Replace operation.

NOTE: The replace edit box is visible only when the selection on the “Choose action” list is a replace operation.

Control the actions of the Replace operation, for instance, confirmations of replacements, with settings in Find | Options. See: Confirm Replacement.

What you enter in the Replace edit box is interpreted literally by three of the Four Ways to Search, namely, the Plain-text, Approximate, and Sound-alike searches. The Regular Expression search, however, interprets your entry in Replace according to the rules of Replacement Expressions if your entry contains a backslash (\) or an ampersand (&).
