Parameters

  • PointOrCount
    Type: System.Object

    Required. Either a TextPoint object or an integer that determines the text to replace.

Remarks

ReplaceText replaces the text between the edit point and PointOrCount with Text, making an attempt to correctly preserve the locations of markers for breakpoints, named shortcuts, and so forth.

Examples

Sub ReplaceTextExample()
   Dim objTextDoc As TextDocument
   Dim objMovePt As EditPoint
   Dim objEditPt As EditPoint, iCtr As Integer

   ' Create a new text file.
   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")

   ' Get a handle to the new document and create an EditPoint.
   objTextDoc = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")
   objMovePt = objTextDoc.EndPoint.CreateEditPoint
   objEditPt = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint

   ' Insert ten lines of text.
   For iCtr = 1 To 10
      objEditPt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))
   Next iCtr
   objEditPt.StartOfDocument()
   objMovePt.EndOfDocument()
   ' Replace all occurrences of "test" with "thing."
   MsgBox("Replacing all text with a new string...")
   objEditPt.ReplaceText(objMovePt, "ALL TEXT REPLACED WITH THIS SENTENCE.", vsEPReplaceTextOptions.vsEPReplaceTextAutoformat)
