Here’s the latest RC21 of the PicoCalc software. It includes a pre-compiled Pico2 version.
Here’s the change for this version (on PicoCalc, this really doesn’t save you anything since F6 is shifted anyway):
The in-built editor is very useful and personally I use it most of the time
rather than using a PC based approach. Two things have always irritated
me though: first, having to use shift-F3 to repeat a search and second,
no replace function. I was musing on this in bed as you do (sad I know )
when I realised that with a particular approach it should be easy to
implement replace functionality without risking the stability of the editor
so RC21 contains the editor enhancements as follows:
You can now use SHIFT-F3, ctrl-G, OR F6 to get the next match
If you then use SHIFT-F5, ctrl-I or F8 the system will replace the
search target string with the contents of the paste buffer.
That works but requires you to have copied something into the paste
buffer using the usual F4/F5 mechanism
So, having just done a search using F3 etc. you can now press SHIFT-F4,
ctrl-F, or F7 and this will open a dialog allowing you to directly enter a
string into the paste buffer and on pressing return, replace the search
target string.
This is much simpler than that explanation made it seem.
Suppose you want to replace every occurrence of GP0 with GP6 then
you can proceed as follows:
F3 - enter GP0 'define the search target and find the first occurrence
F7 - enter GP6 'define the replacement string and do the first replacement
repeat until you get a not found message
F6 ' find next
F8 ' replace next
end repeat
