Bug in replace text in LOGIC EDITOR

If you do a find and replace in the logic editor

you type your find and replace text and press OK.

It replaces the first item...

you realise you meant to press Replace ALL

you choose the option again but for some reason the FIND text now has a leading quote (") .

Why the quote ??

I have also noticed it puts the replace text in the find text box also !!!

 

Now this is code more clever that I thaught.......

In my first two posts I was replacing 'entrance' with 'toilet'

Line was

getlightingstate("entrance")


It does the replace and leaves the cursor after the 'e'

The Find and replace actually then gets what ever word the cursor is near...
in this case "entrance (need to change code so that the quote is not taken as part of the word)

This is not how search and replace works in most programs(in my experience)

Most programs leave the find with a default value of what was typed last. EXCEPT if something was hightlighted. If highlight then the find will have the the highlighted text.


I tried hightlighting some code and then pressing replace. Your program ignores the highlight and just gets the complete word that the cursor is near.

What do you think....

This behaviour is very similar to other code editors (for example, Delphi).

If you want to get back the last search item, just drop down the list and select the most recent item.

To an extent, there is nothing much that can be done about the search and replace behaviour as the editor is a bought-in component.

 

And here I was thinking what a very clever piece of code this developement environment was and how quickly you did a very complex a job.

I am still very impressed with the development environment....

We try to save work when we can

The bought in component doesn't do much of the whole editor, but the search and replace is part of it.
