Find and Replace Basics 2
• The procedure for using the Find and Replace feature
is:
• Phase 1: Determine the Scope of Your Search
– Where to search (within highlighted text on a page, in a
file, a folder, or on your entire website).
• Phase 2: Specify What to Search For
– Next, tell it what to search for (text, HTML, or a particular
tag with a specific attribute).
•
•
•
•
Phase 3: Provide the Replacement Text
Phase 4: Choose the Search Settings
Phase 5: Take Action
Finally, you dictate what the replacement item is.
– optional; you can use the Find and Replace window as a
way to locate an item on a page or on your site, without
changing it to anything.

Regular Expression
• To find three numbers in a row, you could search for
\d\ d\ d, which would find 555, 747, 007, and so on.
There’s even shorthand for this: \d{ 3}.
• Here are some of the other symbols you’ll encounter
when using regular expressions:
– . (period) stands for any character, letter, number, space,
and so on.
– \w stands for any letter or number (but not spaces, tabs,
 , or line breaks).
– * (asterisk) represents the preceding character, zero or
more times (and is always used after another character).
– This is best explained with an example: The regular
expression colou* r, for instance, matches both “colour”
and “color” — the * following the u indicates that the u is
optional (it can appear zero times). This would also match
“colouuuuur”
