Finding and replacing text

Use the Find > Text command to quickly search for and replace text in the Text, Field, or Script window. All searches start at the insertion point and search forward.

To search and replace text:

1 | Choose Window > Text, Window > Field, or Window > Script to open the window in which you want to search.
2 | Place the insertion point at the position where you want the search to begin.
3 | Choose Edit > Find > Text.
4 | Enter the text you want to search for in the Find box.
5 | Enter the text you want to use in place of the found text in the Replace box.
6 | To specify the cast members in which to search, choose a Search option:
| Cast Member Name limits the search to the current cast member.
| Cast Cast Name limits the search to cast members in the current cast.
| All Casts extends the search to all cast members in all casts.
7 | To set additional search options, select Wrap-Around, Whole Words Only, or Case Sensitive.
| Wrap-Around specifies whether or not Director returns to the beginning of text once it reaches the end. If you select this option but not All Casts, Director continues searching from the top of the current text after it reaches the bottom of the window. If you select both options, Director searches all cast members of the same type (either text, field, or script, depending on where you initiated the search), beginning with the currently selected cast member and returning to the first cast member of that type if necessary.
| Whole Words Only searches only for occurrences of the specified whole word.
| Case Sensitive searches only for text with the same capitalization as the text in the Find box.
