Find and Replace

Find

Find displays the Find Bar which is used to perform text searches within a document. Enter the text you wish to search for in the Find Bar's text field and then click the green Find button. A backward search can be performed by clicking the green button immediately to the left of the Find button.

The LEDs to the right of the Find button indicate the success of a search. The green LED is lit if the specified text was found, and the red LED is lit if the text was not found. If the search was successful then clicking the Find button again will search for the next instance of the text within the document.

The Find Bar's text box contains a drop down list that provides quick access to previous search entries. The ten most recent search entries are retained between Jarte sessions.

If you prefer that Jarte remember whether the Find Bar is displayed between editing sessions then see advanced setting Remember Find and Ref Bars.

See Use Standard Find Dialog if you prefer to use the standard Windows Find dialog instead of the Find Bar.

Advanced setting Enable Find Bar Sound can be used to disable the sound effect that occurs when a text search fails.

Advanced setting Privacy Guard can be used to prevent Jarte from remembering the list of recent text searches from one editing session to the next.

Go to Top

The Go to Top button is a shortcut that moves the document's text cursor to the top of the document and then gives focus to the Find Bar's text field.

Tip: If the Shift key is pressed while clicking the Go to Top button then the text cursor will be moved to the bottom of the document instead of the top.

Options

Case Sensitive - Indicates whether the search is case sensitive (i.e., a case sensitive search for "Dog" will find not find "dog").

Whole Words - Indicates whether the search only succeeds for whole words (i.e., a whole word search for "run" will skip past the word "running").

Across All Open Documents - Indicates whether the search will be performed across all of Jarte's currently open documents.

Insert Carriage Return - Inserts {cr} into the Find Bar's text box to represent the carriage return character which is otherwise difficult to enter. This is useful for performing tasks such as line joins (i.e., removing extra carriage returns to form a single paragraph).

Insert Tab - Inserts {tab} into the Find Bar's text box to represent the tab character which is otherwise difficult to enter.

Other Search Related Features

Count Occurrences - Reports the number of times the search text appears in the document. The options listed above are used to perform the count.

Go to Line & Go to Page - See Status Bar.

Bookmarks - See Bookmarks.

Find File - See Find File.

Replace

Replace expands the Find Bar to display additional controls used for performing text replacements. The replacement text field is used to specify the text to replace the text being searched for. The green Replace button finds the next instance of the search text and, if found, replaces it with the specified replacement text. The green All button replaces all instances of the search text with the replacement text. The Find options described above are used for both Find and Replace.

See Use Standard Find Dialog if you prefer to use the standard Windows Find dialog instead of the Find Bar.
