I am a beginner in the IT field and I have a question.
I would like to have some hints about how to define a procedure for a txt file (in C+, VB.net, DOS or what else) that executes the same function as Standard Microsoft program does when you use the Edit menu and do “Find and Replace”.
Can someone help me to address this issue?
Thanks

Hi,
So welcome in the IT domain!
You have right that this is good to be stored like a procedure or function!
In VB in the procedures you can store an algoritme but this algoritme don't give result!
The procedures are declared like:
Sub find_replace(Se arch_string, Replace_String, Match_case, FInd_whole_word s_only)
Algoritme
End sub
And there is no result when they are executed!
They are called frome your code like:
find_replace(Se arch_string, Replace_String, Match_case, FInd_whole_word s_only)
In the construction of functions there is result that is returned!
Function find_replace(Se arch_string, Replace_String, Match_case, FInd_whole_word s_only) AS Longint
Algoritme
find_replace=nu mber_of_replace ments
Function sub
The function can be called like:
Msgbox "Word has made ;" & str(find_replac e(Search_string , Replace_String, Match_case, FInd_whole_word s_only)) & " replacements"
Usually the functions and procedures are wrotten in modules. It depend of the destination of the functions and procedures...
When the respective module is loaded in your program you can use the specified function or procedure stored on it...
To facilitate the programers that write on different languages, many of the languages have the option to create a module on the respective language as dll
dinamic linked library!
One time your module in dll, you can use it in other languages to program!
In Windows there is a lot of dll... You need to know what functions and procedures you have and their parameters in the respective dll for use them!
For find and replace as function in windows you need to search in what dll is stored and what are the parameters...
Then in the respective4 language you need to check how to declare a dll function or procedure and it's all!
Best regards!

I am looking for '120.50' '120.51' '122.78' etc. How can I do this with
just one str.find... I can use re if I must, but I'd like to avoid it if
possible.

Interactive Find and Replace String Patterns on Multiple Files

Suppose you need to do find and replace of a string pattern, for all
files in a directory. However, you do not want to replace all of them.

This is a long shot, but I thought I'd try it. I am currently using excel as an inventory tool. I currently have a hand-held scanner plugged into a laptop for reading barcodes. Using the "Find and Replace" fuction, I scan the merchandise which then searches the spreadsheet for the matching inventory number. When it is found, I highlight that cell in yellow. After scanning and coloring all of my inventory I can then see exactly what is...

In a table I have text field A. I would like to replace all the null values
in field A to a real value, let's say 'Test'. When I use Find & Replace and
I search for 'is null' and I press replace or replace all, no null value is
found, so I can't replace anything. However, when I press Find Next in that
same dialog then the null values are found.
Anyone and idea what is happening here?
Thanks,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
