Add ability to step through each find before replacing

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

I would like the ability to step through each possible replacement before
actually replacing it.  Once I have decided that I would like to replace
that specific item I would hit replace and then it would replace it and
move on to the next item otherwise I would hit find or next and it would
move on to the next item without replacing it.  I would love to use this to
do some updates to some websites where I need to replace a certain piece of
text on each page when I am editing it, but I don't necessarily want to
replace it in all places on that page.

Hi Adam, I have thought of this feature since the very beginning, but at this 
moment
I don't know how to do it. I will investigate on how to implement this when I 
have time.

:+1: I would love to have this same way as Libreoffice, Thunderbird or any other editor. If you have a large text with lots of occurences you cannot really use FoxReplace as one cannot be sure that it does not replace some other meaningful text without oneself noticing it
