Search and Replace

[jnicholsadams]

Is there an example of QM program using Search and Replace that is not dependent upon using the search and replace inside Word, Access etc etc.

To make this more specific, I wish to write a way to find to a specific string <<**>> and then to position the cursor after the <<**>> to paste a string

[jnicholsadams]

I tried
str s="<<**>>"
s.getwintext

With each program would need different code. Not simple. Not with all programs possible.
A more universal way is to select all text (Ctrl+A), get into a variable, modify the text with QM string functions, then paste all modified text. Function Replace() does it.

I simply need to place a cursor after <<**>> which is a place holder. Your system will not work to do this. As always thank you for your very quick reply.

Quick Keys Could easily do these functions within Eudora. I am looking to find a good replacement for Quick Keys that works well in Windows 7.

Can you post here your Quick Keys macro? Maybe we can convert it to QM.
