Find & Replace dialog not described in manual

[Claus Pedersen]

The Find & Replace dialog (Ctrl-F) is not described in the manual (pdf file). What does e.g. "Search in: Other" mean?

 

[Marco Kalter]

The "Other" option means "Other than Comments and Strings" (the other 2 options).

 

[Claus Pedersen]

What does it mean if no item is checked?

 

[Marco Kalter]

Then the search is not limited to comments, strings or other code sections. It is the same as all 3 options are checked.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

Does this mean, that text is always parsed when using Find & Replace?
Is there a way to make a 'raw' search and replace, i.e. treat the file as a plain text file?

 

[Marco Kalter]

If all "search in" items are checked or no "search in" item is checked all text will be searched as if it were plain text.
