FIXED: minor bug/question - S&R count
Posted: 30 Apr 2025 17:04
I've noticed that if I do a global replace operation, the number of items changed is displayed on the status bar.
However, if I do a selection replace operation, this count is not shown...
I would *really* like to have this count shown when I replace within a selected area, because I'm always nervous that I'll get a search string wrong and replace the wrong elements... this is especially an issue recently, because I'm converting my programs to UNICODE (finally) using tchar.h method, so countless strings need to be converted from "string" to _T("string") ... I end up doing a lot of changes via replace operations, because I typically have hundreds, sometimes thousands, of strings in a program that need to be updated... it is sure reassuring to have that count to tell me that I changed what I intended!!!
Is it possible to get this implemented?? Or is there a reason that the count is not implemented in selections?
