Description Simon Biggs 2021-12-10 17:50:01 UTC
Description:
If you are using REGEX, find and replace strings are often complex (as are the results). So a [REPLACE] button that executes ONLY the replace, but doesn't move to the next occurrence is needed. This allows easy review of the results. Of course an additional [REPLACE & FIND] button would be needed to replace the current functionality of [REPLACE]

Thanks for filing this request. This need has been discussed already in Bug 138285, and a solution is proposed there. It's just waiting for someone to take it up.
