Search and replace The search functionality in Code Editor includes wildcards, regular expressions, and function search. Using wildcards in search The Use Wildcards option will find the specified combination of characters, including combinations within a word. Using regular expressions in search The Search tool will search for an exact match to text in the Find box, unless you specify match conditions using regular expressions, special meta characters, and predefined regular expressions. Group capture in regular expressions When the Use Regular Expressions option is checked, group capture allows you to isolate groups in the expression to be matched, so they can be captured and substituted during the replacement.
