The Wildcard Characters for Replacement

In the "Replace with" field, you can use other types of wildcards dedicated to text replacement. These wildcards also use the special activator "^".

- "*P": the character found at position P with the search string is inserted at the replacement character's position. Example: search for “b^&” and replace with “^*2^*1”. All strings “b[vowel]” are replaced with “[vowel]b”.

- "#P+N": the character found at position P with the search string is inserted at the replacement character's position, increasing its Unicode value by N.

- "#P-N": the character found at position P with the search string is inserted at the replacement character's position, decreasing its Unicode value by N.

- ">P": the character found at position P with the search string is inserted at the replacement character's position, converting it to uppercase if necessary. Example: search for “. ^<” and replace with “. ^>3”. It finds the strings “. [lowercase letter]” and replaces them with “. [uppercase letter]”.

- "

- "p": inserts a paragraph break.

- "l": inserts a line break.

- "t": inserts a tab.

To use the wildcards, you need to activate the corresponding search criterion from the relevant options list.
