FIND command in Macros
GWD Text Editor Forum: Technical Support: FIND command in Macros
    By JohnSeitz on Tuesday, April 4, 2000 - 03:14 am:
I have been trying out about ever known text editor out there. So far you are only second to MultiEdit. However, they cost $129, which I personally think is just to much money. So I wanted to say, great job on a great editor. However, before I can spend my money, I need to make sure of one feature that I have to have. I record a macro, and use the FIND command. When I play the macro back, instead of finding the text, it opens up the dialog. I found a way around this by searching for the text first, then recording the macro. Then using the FindNext command (which doesn't require a dialog). Is there a way within the macro language, that the find dialog will not come up. I noticed that we can edit the macro, but I have the eval version, so I can. Any ideas? John Seitz

You can use FindParam, FindParamC, FindParamCW, FindParamR or FindParamRCW macro commands.
| FindParam | Finds the next occurrence of the text specified with Param1 command. | | FindParamC | Finds the next occurrence of the text specified with Param1 command with Match Case option turned on. | | FindParamCW | Finds the next occurrence of the text specified with Param1 command with Match Case and Match Word Only options turned on. | | FindParamR | Finds the next occurrence of the text specified with Param1 command using regular expression. | | FindParamRCW | Finds the next occurrence of the text specified with Param1 command using regular expression with Match Case and Match Word only options turned on. | For example if you want to create a macro which will search for next occurrence of the "search text" in your document:
- Choose the Macro command from the Macro menu.
- In the Macro dialog box, choose the New button.
- Specify the name of the new macro and select OK button.
- In the Edit Macro dialog box enter following two lines:
Param1 "search text" FindParam For power search, you can use GWD C Script language Gte_Find() and/or Gte_FindInLine() functions. Recorder keystroke macros can be converted to a GWD C Script with the ScripWizard command. Vedran Gaco
