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