You can also find a client??™s incorrectly spelled name and replace it with the correctly spelled
version??”that??™s a lifesaver! However, that??™s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Find and Replace
can really do. The Find and Replace engine should be considered a key power tool for any Web developer.
Not only can you search multiple files, but you can also easily check the code separately from the content.
Here??™s a short list of what the Find and Replace feature makes possible:
n Search the Document window to find any type of text.
n Search the underlying HTML to find tags, attributes, or text enclosed within tags.
n Look for text within specific tags with specific attributes??”or look for text that??™s outside of a
specific tag with specific attributes.
n Find and replace patterns of text, using wildcard characters called regular expressions.
n Apply any of the preceding Find and Replace operations to the current document, the current
site, any folder, or any group of selected files.
The basic command, Find and Replace, is found with its companion, Find Next, under the Edit menu. You
can use both commands in either Dreamweaver??™s Design or Code view. Although invoked by a single command,
the Find feature can be used independently or in conjunction with Replace.
