Hi, I don’t seem to get “Find and Replace” to find anything in version 3.1.

Like all “on\_record\_select” in my code.  
It only seems to find within same method, not globally. And the Form/Method etc selector is gone…

I suspect I’m missing something. What has changed?  
If so, where is the documentation? or What’s new in 3.1?

Hello swingman,

The presentation is now different, you have now an additional tab on Servoy editor window : Variables,…,Output, and the new Search tab where you can run search/replace.

Hope this help.

DomTom.

Hi Christian,

It is a really cool feature of 3.1 and exists, as mentioned above, as another tab in the debugger called ‘Search’. It is very fast and lists all the occurrences. You’ll love it.

Thanks guys for pointing this out.  
Very cool!

But why is there still the old search?  
Having it there is confusing.

The old search window is for searching within the current method only.  
So just like how any other text/code editor works ![;)]( "Wink")
