Replaces the next occurrence of a string in a rich text range, and moves the current position to the beginning of the first occurrence of the string.

Defined in

Syntax

count& = notesRichTextRange .FindAndReplace( target$ , replacement$ , [ options& ] )

Parameters

target$

String. The search string.

Usage

For purposes of navigation, this method finds an element of type RTELEM_TYPE_TEXTRUN. The current position becomes the first character of the search string within the element (not the first character of the element).

All navigation markers in the RTitem, including ranges, are invalidated after a FindAndReplace operation. A new range must be created with SetBegin/SetEnd if you want to use additional RichTextRange methods.
