MatchCase: Object

true to make the search case sensitive.

MatchByte: Object

You can use this argument only if you have selected or installed double-byte language support in Excel. true to have double-byte characters match only double-byte characters; false to have double-byte characters match their single-byte equivalents.

SearchFormat: Object

The search format for the method.

The replace format for the method.

Examples

The following code example uses the Replace method to replace the string "Smith" with the string "Jones" within an XmlMappedRange. This code example assumes that the current worksheet contains an XmlMappedRange named CustomerLastNameCell.

private void ReplaceSmith()
{
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.Value2 = "Walker, Smith, James";
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.Replace("Smith", "Jones");
}

Private Sub ReplaceSmith()
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Value2 = "Walker, Smith, James"
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Replace("Smith", "Jones")
End Sub

Remarks

Using this method does not change either the selection or the active cell.

The settings for LookAt, SearchOrder, MatchCase, and MatchByte are saved each time you use this method. If you do not specify values for these arguments the next time you call the method, the saved values are used. Setting these arguments changes the settings in the Find dialog box, and changing the settings in the Find dialog box changes the saved values that are used if you omit the arguments. To avoid problems, set these arguments explicitly each time you use this method.
