WE enhancement: Test Replace
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 5:21 pm
I find doing a test replacement very non-intuitive, and the only way to perform a test replacement by right-clicking.
1- Can you add a button within the Replace tab above the Text pane to invoke a test replace? I think that's the best place for it; you may even with it to be context-sensitive, that is visible only when the test tab/pane is visible.
Otherwise maybe a toolbar button and/or menu item to perform a replacement would be nice.
2- There are no results for test replacement, that is no N replacements made or anything. Can you add a message to the status bar or append/prepend to the log test replacement results?
Thank you for your consideration. Honestly, I've spent all of 30 seconds with Wild Edit. I could be all wet. But I like the program; it's a more intuitive, efficient interface to doing text replacement in multiple files than through Text Pad.
Thank you,
