Notepad : Send : CTRL+H : Find-Replace

[vaibhavs]

Hi,

I have a text file which is already open in notepad.

I wish to simulate a CTRL+h -- Find Replace keystrokes.

How can I do this ??

I tried some combination as below, but none worked!!

send ("{LCTRL+H}")

send ("{LCTRL}+{H}")

I guess I am missing something here....

Please advice.

Thx

Vai

Send("^h")

another way

Send("!er")

You could also use AutoIt to perform the find replace, but either opening the file in AutoIt, or getting the text from the notepad window, performing a StringReplace/StringRegExpReplace, and then clearing notepad and adding the modified text.

Cheers,

Another example

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]")
WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad]")

send(" aa bb {ENTER} cc aabbcc")

$sFind = "aa"
$sReplacewith = "bb"
  
Sleep(3000); 3 sec to look at text

;Send("!er" &$sFind & "{TAB}" & $sReplacewith & "!a{ESC}")
; or
Send("^h" &$sFind & "{TAB}" & $sReplacewith & "!a{ESC}")
