Word has this feature where it tells you how many replacements it's made; Duxbury does not, so it's not universal. I like to know, too; as you say, if the number is way off I have committed an error of some sort. The spell checker tells you how many words it's found that it doesn't know; it's not life-or-death, just fun to know.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Speicher Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] number of replacements After doing a global replace, is it possible to find out how many replacements occurred? If so, how? If not, would anyone else find this a useful addition to Keysoft? I often clean up or re-format files by using find and replace. In Megadots, a program which announces the number of replacements which have occurred in such an operation, I find the number extremely useful, especially where a number is so large or small that it tells me things did not work out as I had hoped. Of course, when I have entered the search and replace strings correctly, and the number of replacements is large, I get that feeling of satisfaction which comes from having accomplished a lot with relatively little work: something about working smarter rather than working harder. <smile> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
