Note: Be sure to choose an area before pressing Ctrl + H buttons, or select Edit > Search and Replace from the main menu.
Using Regular Expressions
In cases where multiple inventory items are added that are the same, you can use the Search and Replace feature to rename them using the Use regular expressions option. Additionally, you can use the feature to correct any misspelling or change nomenclature across the entire design.
Example 1: Multiple Inventory Items
In the example below, we have added three TSC-70-G3 to our design and we are using the Search and Replace feature to rename them all at once in sequential order.
Note: Use (\d)
to represent the digit range 0-9 and $1
to match the substring that is to be replaced.
Example 2: Changing Nomenclature
In this design, we have a mixer that has used the nomenclature "Wireless 1-n", "Wirless 1-n", and "RF 1-n". To easily correct it, we can utilize the Use regular expressions option to find and replace our text.
Note: When looking for multiple words, separate them by the pipe ( | ) symbol.
