Re: Find & Replace

[Richmond]

That looks good: but as I have a vast number of controls to work through
that is still going to be extremely tedious.

Livecode's "Find & Replace" does that is seconds through my stack, with 
its millions of lines

of code.

If I open the "Find & Replace" dialog from inside a script windows I get 
a different Finf & Replace

stack to the revSearch stack I get outwith a scriptEditor.

This one has an extremely cryptic check button at the bottom entitled 
"Wildcard" with no

explanation at all. I am clinging to this like a drowning man, not even 
knowing quite why I

am clinging to it . . .

A simple (quick and dirty) non-regex solution (use LC 7 or LC 8)

on mouseUp
     put replaceMyThings(fld 1) into fld 2

function replaceMyThings LL

         quote&"fPROC"&quote&" to numToCodePoint("

Here's a puzzle:

I need to replace thousands of lines like this:

set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC" to numToCodePoint(57669)

with this:

put numToCodePoint(57669) into fld "fPROC"

the problem is that the number of the codePoint is different in each case.

Wildcards?
