Public Function ReplacePattern (Point As TextPoint, Pattern As String, Replace As String, Optional vsFindOptionsValue As Integer = 0, Optional ByRef Tags As TextRanges = Nothing) As Boolean

Parameters

Point: TextPoint

Required. The endpoint of the specified range of text. The edit point and Point are the boundaries for replacement.

Pattern: String

Required. The string to find.

Replace: String

Required. The replacement string for Pattern.

vsFindOptionsValue: Int32

Optional. A vsFindOptions constant indicating the type of search to perform.

Tags: TextRanges

Optional. If the matched pattern is a regular expression containing tagged sub-expressions, then Tags contains a collection of TextRange objects, one for each tagged subexpression.

Returns

Boolean

true if replacement occurs successfully; otherwise, false.

Attributes: DispIdAttribute

Examples

Sub ReplacePatternExample()  
   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."  
    objEditPt.ReplacePattern(objMovePt, "test", "thing", vsFindOptions.vsFindOptionsFromStart)  
End Sub

Remarks

ReplacePattern finds text similarly to FindPattern, except that it only searches the text between edit point and the argument Point. To find and replace in the entire document, use ReplacePattern. The Tags collection returns only information for the last matched pattern.
