The Find and Replace Window

You can open the Find and Replace window from:

• Plant SCADA Studio — used to find and replace text strings in your projects, included projects, graphics and Plant SCADA Studio views.

• Graphics Builder — used to find and replace text within a single graphics page, template, or Genie (including fields on the Metadata and Associations tabs, apart from the "In Use" field).

You can configure your search coverage, view your results, replace results, or open a search result for more information.

To display the Find and Replace window:

1. From Plant SCADA Studio, click the following icon on the Activity Bar.

   

2. From Graphics Builder, click Edit | Find or Edit | Replace. The window box appears with either the Find tab or Replace tab selected, depending on which command you selected.

3. From Plant SCADA Studio or Graphics Builder, press CTRL + F on the keyboard.

   

To search for text:

4. In the Find box, type the text string you want to search for. The search is not case-sensitive, so it doesn't matter whether you enter lower- or uppercase letters.

   You can enter an entire string or a portion of the string you want to find. For example, typing BIT will return any string containing BIT, such as BIT_1, BITE, HABIT, HABITS, and so on. You cannot enter wildcard characters, but you can include special characters, as well as spaces if you want.

5. Specify your Specify Search Coverage using the Look in and Search options lists.

6. Click Find. Search results appear in the Use the Results List when the search completes. The status text under the results list indicates the progress of the search.

   Note: When you start a search, the Find button changes to a Stop button you can use to exit the search. If you stop a search, a partial list of the results is displayed.

8. In the Find box, type the text you want to search for.
