Find and Replace only in selection?
Is it possible to limit a find and replace to only the selected text?
Thanks! Steve |
I will rephrase my question: How do I limit a find and replace to only the selected text?
Thanks, Steve |
Sorry Steve, those two were spammers. I don't believe there's a way to do that unless I'm forgetting something.

A couple of thoughts:[LIST=1][*]It has always been a pity that the Find and Replace functionality of oo3 is not exposed through the Applescript interface. It might be worth adding your voice to that request through [B]OO3 > Help > Send Feedback[/B][*]It's also a pity that the Applescript library gives no access to the text selection within a row (only to a list of which rows are selected). Again, I would be inclined to visit [B]Help > Send Feedback[/B][/LIST](If you were prepared to lose any text formatting, it would be possible to write a search and replace script, using a shell command, for example, which only applied to selected rows). |
Thanks for the update! This really surprises me that you can't find in only the selection. The ability to find and replace only in the selection or in a hoisted part of the outline would add much functionality for me.
I will add those feature requests Rob. Steve |
It should be confined to your hoisted view if that works for your needs. If you're seeing something different, please let me know.

Oops-- it does work in the hoisted view. That will be an acceptable solution for my needs. Thanks everyone for your help.
