The Search & Replace function lets you define the
transaction PAY / DESC description to search for and the
description to replace it with. Any viewable
transaction in the Transaction List which matches the
defined description will be highlighted and its
description replaced.
----------------------------------------------------
The following list describes the functions available in
the Search & Replace Requester. The order of these
functions corresponds to the order they appear in the
requester's menu bar. You can select any function using
either the keyboard (shown as "Keyboard:") or mouse
("Mouse:").
Search Menu
Okay
Accept the defined search and replace descriptions
and proceeds from the current position in the
Transaction List to locate the first transaction
which matches the description and replace its
description.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA Y
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Cancel
Terminate the definition of the search and replace
descriptions and restore the previous descriptions
and conditions (Use Wildcards, Verify Replacement,
and Global Replacement).
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA N
Mouse: Menu Item; Command Button
Conditions Menu
Use Wildcards
Toggle the use (YES or NO) of the wildcard
characters, '?' and '*', for pattern matching
purposes.
If used (YES), the '?' character will match any
single character while the '*' will match zero or
more successive characters.
If not used (NO), the Search For description will
be taken verbatim, meaning that a transaction must
match all characters exactly. You would use this
if the description contained either or both of the
wildcard characters. If the Case Sensitive option
is selected, the descriptions do not necessarily
have to match verbatim, although the spelling of
both descriptions must match.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA W
Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
Case Sensitive
Toggle the requirement (YES or NO) that for two
descriptions to match, they must both match in
spelling and case.
If required (YES), the Search For description will
only match a transaction's PAY / DESC description
if both are spelled the same and the case of each
letter is the same.
If not required (NO), the Search For description
will match any transaction PAY / DESC description
that is spelled the same.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA C
Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
Verify Replacement
Toggle the verification (YES or NO) of each
replacement of the Search For description with
the Replace With description. This option
toggles off (NO) the Global Replacement option.
If verify (YES), each match will produce a request
verifying if that the current transaction should be
modified.
If no verify (NO), each match will be replaced with
the Replace With description without any user
intervention. This effectively replaces all
matches fairly quickly.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA V
Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
Global Replacement
Toggle the ability (YES or NO) of replacing all
transactions in the checkbook (and not just those
currently viewable in the Transaction List) whose
PAY / DESC description matches the Replace With
description without verification from the user.
This option toggles off (NO) the Verify Replacement
option.
If global (YES), each match in the entire checkbook
will be replaced, without prompting of the user,
and the checkbook entries that matched will be
updated.
If not global (NO), only those transactions
currently viewable in the Transaction List will be
analyzed for a matching PAY / DESC description.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA G
Mouse: Menu Item; Check Box
Description List Menu
Select
Display the Description List Requester for you to
select a phrase to be placed in either the Search
For or Replace With input field. If the cursor is
currently in the Search For input field and this
function is selected, the selected description will
be placed in the Search For input field, replacing
the previous description. If the cursor is
currently in the Replace With input field and this
function is selected, the selected description will
be placed in the Replace With input field. If the
cursor is not shown at all, the selected
description will be placed in the Search For input
field.
Keyboard: RIGHT-AMIGA L
Mouse: Menu Item
----------------------------------------------------
The following list describes the input fields which hold
the PAY / DESC description to search for and its
replacement description. The input format of each field
is also given (shown as "FORMAT:").
Search For
The transaction PAY or DESC input field content to
search for. The search function is case-sensitive,
which means that the Search For description will
only generate a match if it is exactly the same as
a transaction's description.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Replace With
The transaction PAY or DESC description to replace
any matches with.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
