Editing text can be time consuming. To save time, gedit + includes a Replace function that helps you to find and replace + portions of text.

+ + + Replace text in <app>gedit</app> + +

Open the Replace tool by clicking + Menu buttonFind + and Replace… or press + CtrlH.

+ + +

Enter the text that you wish to replace into the Find + field.

+ + +

Enter the new, replacement text into the Replace with + field.

+ + +

Once you have entered the original and replacement text, you can add + extra parameters to the search. You can also choose what you want to + replace:

+ + +

To replace only the next match, click + Replace.

+ + +

To replace all occurrences of the searched-for text, + click Replace All.

+ + + + + + +

Use the Replace All function with care. Replace + All works on the entirety of your text file, and does not allow you + to highlight portions of text where the replace function will be + performed.

+ + +
+ More options + +

If you wish, you can add some extra parameters to your search:

+ + + + Match case +

The Match case option allows you to specify whether you want + your search to be case-sensitive. If this option is selected, searches + will be case-sensitive. If not, searches will not be case-sensitive.

+ + + Match entire word only +

Use this option to search for a specific word without including + fragments of other words. For example, if you searched for the word + 'and' with this option selected, the word 'and' would be matched, but + the words 'sand' and 'commander' would not be + matched.

+ + + Search backwards +

This command behaves identically to the Find Previous command. If you + wish to step through search results from end to beginning, select this + option.

+ + + Wrap around +

With the wrap around option enabled, gedit will + re-start the search/replace action at the top of the file after it has + reached the bottom of the file. This ensures that your search/replace + action is made across your entire file.

+ + + +
+ +
+ Using escape sequences + +

You can use escape sequences to search for line breaks, carriage + returns, and tabs.

+ + + + \n +

Newline

+ + + \r +

Carriage return

+ + + \t +

Tab

+ + + +

If you actually want to search for a \ (backslash) or one + of the escape sequences in the text, you need to escape the backslash with an + extra backslash. For example, to search for \, you need to + enter \\ into the search or replace field. You can search for + escape sequences in the same way: to search for or replace with a + \n, use the \\n term.
