<h1>Normal search</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<img style="width: 488px; height: 318px;" alt="" src="Images/Screenshots/find.png"><p>You
|
||
can search text as in most programs using the Find/Replace dialog.
|
||
You can open this dialog by selecting <span class="menu_item">Search->Find</span> (or pressing
|
||
<img style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt="" src="Images/Toolbar/find.png">), <span class="menu_item">Search->Replace</span> (or pressing <img style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt="" src="Images/Toolbar/findReplace.png">) or <span class="menu_item">Search->Find in Files</span>.<p>
|
||
Each of these options will open the corresponding tab in the
|
||
Find/Replace dialog. This dialog will always stay on top of the text,
|
||
but you can still keep on editing the text if it's opened, and you
|
||
can set it to be transparent (using the Transparency option) when its
|
||
inactive (On lose focus) or at all times (Always). The slider
|
||
controls the amount of transparency. Note that transparency is only
|
||
available on Windows 2000 and later.
|
||
<p>In
|
||
the Find what field, type the text you want to find. This is
|
||
automatically filled with the current selected text, or the word under the caret, or the last searched pattern, when the Find
|
||
dialog is opened. The drop down list contains previous search items
|
||
if a search was performed before. See also Search Mode.
|
||
<p>
|
||
The
|
||
section below the Find what field allows you to mark and indicate all
|
||
hits for a certain search.
|
||
<p><ul><li>
|
||
<span class="checkbox">Mark Line</span> adds a bookmark (see <a href="Bookmarks.html">Bookmarks</a>)
|
||
to the line with a hit
|
||
</li><li> <span class="checkbox">Style found token</span> will give the matching text
|
||
a different color (see <a href="Marking%20search%20results.html">Marking search results</a>)
|
||
</li><li> <span class="checkbox">Purge for each search</span> will clear all bookmarks
|
||
and highlights before searching again.
|
||
</ul><p>
|
||
To
|
||
perform any of these actions, click the <span class="button">Find All </span>button in the section. To clear all
|
||
the results, click the <span class="button">Clear</span> button.
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="checkbox">
|
||
In selection</span> checkbox will restrict search to the selection. It is disabled if there is no selection.
|
||
<p><ul><li><span class="checkbox">Match
|
||
whole word only</span> will only result in a hit if the match consists of an
|
||
entire word, not if it's partial (for example (but not limited to),
|
||
whitespace separated).
|
||
</li><li>
|
||
<span class="checkbox">Match
|
||
case</span> enforces that hits have exactly the same case as the query. If
|
||
this is disabled, the search is case insensitive.
|
||
</li><li>
|
||
<span class="checkbox">Wrap
|
||
around</span> will start at the top of the file when the end of the file is
|
||
reached when searching, depending on the location of the cursor.</li></ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The
|
||
search mode determines how the query will be handled:
|
||
<p><ul><li>In
|
||
<span class="radio">Normal</span>, the text will be searched literally. </li><li>In
|
||
<span class="radio">Extended</span>, special character sequences will be interpreted as special
|
||
characters such as newline characters. In this case, you can choose
|
||
from:
|
||
<ul><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\\
|
||
- Backslash character;</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\t
|
||
– TAB character;</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\r
|
||
– CR character;</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\n
|
||
– LF character;</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\0
|
||
– NULL character;</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\x##
|
||
- Hexadecimal value (between 00 and FF);</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\u####
|
||
- Extended hexadecimal value (between 0000 and FFFF, meant for Unicode characters);</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\d###
|
||
- Decimal value (between 000 and 255);</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\o###
|
||
- Octal value (between 000 and 377);</font>
|
||
</li><li><font face="Times New Roman, serif">\b########
|
||
- Binary value (between 00000000 and 11111111).</font>
|
||
</li></ul>
|
||
</li><li>In
|
||
<span class="radio">Regular Expression</span>, the query will be handled like a regular
|
||
expression. Because Notepad++ makes use of the Scintilla regex
|
||
engine, it is the same as with SciTE, so a full list of regex options
|
||
can be found here (with the difference that POSIX mode is always on,
|
||
this is not an option): <a target="_blank" href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTERegEx.html">http://www.scintilla.org/SciTERegEx.html</a>
|
||
with
|
||
some examples here:<a target="_blank" href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/notepad-plus/index.php?title=">Regular_Expressions</font></a>
|
||
</li></ul>
|
||
<p>The
|
||
search direction determines to what relative direction of the cursor
|
||
will be searched. <span class="radio">Up</span> means text before the cursor will be searched,
|
||
<span class="radio">Down</span> means text beyond the cursor will be searched.
|
||
<p>To
|
||
find the (next) hit, press <span class="button">Find Next</span> (or Enter). <span class="button">Count</span> will count the
|
||
amount of hits the search will result in. <span class="button">Find all in all opened
|
||
documents</span> will search all opened documents and displays a list of
|
||
results for each file, see also <a href="Searching%20in%20Files.html">Searching in Files</a>. <span class="button">Find all in current documents</span>
|
||
behaves in a very similar way.
|
||
<p><span class="button">Close</span>
|
||
simple closes the search dialog (close button and ESC do the same).</body></html> |
