RE: Find in Frame
I don't know how to do that, but you might want to do each one individually so you can use search and replace. If you find your first F1, fix it to F1 with proper formatting, and then copy it to the clipboard, you can use Change By Pasting, and click through with Change Find. Yes, you'll have to redo it for all the keys, but I think that will be faster than finding any function key, manually fixing the formatting, then finding the next key. At least, with my typing/mouse habits, it would be faster for me. :-) Of course, if you have a bunch of different font styles, this won't work. ;-) Just a suggestion, Zoë -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 12:31 PM To: Framers List Subject: Find in Frame I need to format all mentions of function keys (F1, F2...F11, F12) with bold and enclose them in less than/greater than signs, such as F1.

I'm not sure if Frame supports all of regular expressions, but it does at least this much. If you look for F[1-9] (minus the quote marks) you'll find what you want. This is the same string you'd feed grep to find it. In the worst case, if you can't find what you're looking for in a Frame binary with Frame's find, you can save to MIF and use any text processor or the command line to grep the file for any kind of string you want. MIF can complicate it a bit, but it's doable. - web ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

It could be that it supports even more than the manual indicates, though I didn't test this. Given that the birthplace was UNIX, it would be natural that it did. Full support for grep in the Find window would be a nice feature to put in the OS X version of the product, don't you think? - web
