Title: Request for additional feature in FIND function of FF
Post by: Martin Francom on January 24, 2010, 01:14:58 AM
Would it be possible to add an additional limit to the SCOPE of the FIND function?

I would like to see a option in the SCOPE to limit FIND/REPLACE  to "Current Function or Sub"

I have found while making changes that I indended to only be made in a particular Sub or Function only to find I had made changes in other subs or functions inadvertantly.

This would be helpful for Find/Replace actions.

I would like to see that feature too.  I remember that VB had it and it was useful.

And if it is not to much to ask....

I would also like to be able to limit the SCOPE  to the highlighted text.

To be able to do a "Change All"  in just the highlight text would come in very handy.  it seems I am frequently changing more items than I intended and that can be rather frustrating.

Doesn't that functionality already exist for the REPLACE dialog?

Scope = Selected Text

Replace All

Ah, yes, it does.

How about that  SCOPE limit for find as well.

Yes, I have logged the sub/function scope as a new feature request. I should be able to get it into FF3 at some point soon.
