349Prompts for a regular expression and aligns the first occurrence of the

352For example, suppose you start with a region that looks like this:
353<pre>
354        private static final int STATE_VARIABLE = STATE_LAST + 1;
355        private static final int STATE_HERE_DOCUMENT = STATE_LAST + 2;
356        private static final int STATE_POD = STATE_LAST + 3;
357        private static final int STATE_REGEXP_DELIMITER = STATE_LAST + 4;

359        private static final int STATE_SUBST = STATE_LAST + 6;

361If you specify "=" as the regular expression, alignStrings will reformat the
362region like this:

1307Executes an editor command by name. The "Command:" textfield in the location
1308bar supports both history (using the up and down arrow keys) and completion
1309(using Tab and Shift Tab).
1310<p>
1311Some commands (for example, <a href="#insertString">insertString</a>,
1312<a href="#help">help</a>, <a href="#jdkHelp">jdkHelp</a>, and
1313<a href="#source">source</a>) require or accept an argument (which in the
1314current implementation is always a string). Such commands can be entered like
1315this:
1316<pre>
1317        insertString this is a test
1318</pre>
1319or like this:

1328<p>
1329Replaces the text to the left of the caret with a word in the current buffer for
1330which that text is a prefix.
1331<br><br>
1332The expand command takes the sequence of characters you've just typed (more
1333precisely, the sequence of characters that are legal in a Java identifier,
1334beginning immediately to the left of the caret), looks through the entire
1335buffer for words (i.e. legal Java identifiers) that have the sequence in
1336question as a prefix, and replaces the sequence of characters with the first
1337match it finds.
1338<p>
1339If you don't like that particular replacement, you can hit Alt Space (or Alt
1340/) again (and again and again) to cycle through all the possible replacements.
1341If you don't like any of the replacements, you can use
1342<a href="#undo">undo</a>, mapped by default to Ctrl Z, or
1343<a href="#escape">escape</a>, mapped by default to Escape, at any point, and
1344get back where you started.
1345<p>
1346In the header area of a mail composition buffer, expand looks for completions
1347in the global address book, rather than in the text of the buffer, so you can
1348use it to auto-complete mail addresses.
1349<p>
1350This functionality is also available in all of j's textfields (both in dialog
1351boxes and in the location bar), with the same default key mappings. In a
1352textfield, the expansion text is taken from the current buffer, and the
1353expansion can be cancelled by pressing Escape.

1361Prompts for a pattern and finds the next occurrence of the specified pattern in
1362the current buffer.
1363<p>
1364The search is case-insensitive if the "Ignore case" checkbox is checked.
1365<p>
1366If the "Whole words only" checkbox is checked, a match is returned only if it
1367is both preceded and followed by a non-word character (i.e. a character not
1368legal in an identifier, based on the mode of the buffer).
1369<p>
1370If the "Regular expression" checkbox is checked, the pattern is interpreted as
1371a <a href="regexp.html">regular expression</a> rather than as a simple string.
1372<p>
1373If the "Multiline pattern" checkbox is checked, the regular expression can
1374contain newline characters ("\n"). Because of the way j handles things
1375internally, a single "\n" should be used to match a newline even if the file
1376being edited uses "\r\n" or "\r" as its line separator string. (The "Multiline
1377pattern" feature is experimental and is not enabled by default.)
1378<p>
1379If the "List occurrences" checkbox is checked, all lines in the current buffer
1380that match the specified pattern are listed.
1381<p>
1382If the "Search from start of document" checkbox is checked, the search begins
1383at the start of the document. Otherwise, the search begins at the current

1413<p>
1414Prompts for a pattern and a file specification and generates a list of all
1415occurrences of the specified pattern in files matching the file specification.
1416<p>
1417Several file specifications can be supplied at once, separated by semicolons.
1418If the full path is not given in a file specification, the current directory or
1419the directory last specified by a full path is used.
1420<p>
1421For example, if the file specification is <code>*.c;/usr/src/emacs-20.3/src/*.c;*.h</code>,
1422the search will examine <code>.c</code> files in the current directory and
1423<code>.c</code> and <code>.h</code> files in <code>/usr/src/emacs-20.3/src</code>.
1424<p>
1425The search is case-insensitive if the "Ignore case" checkbox is checked.
1426<p>
1427If the "Whole words only" checkbox is checked, a match will only be returned if
1428it is both preceded and followed by a non-word character (i.e. a character not
1429legal in a Java identifier).
1430<p>
1431If the "Regular expression" checkbox is checked, the pattern will be
1432interpreted as a <a href="regexp.html">regular expression</a> rather than a
1433simple string.
1434<p>
1435If the "Include subdirectories" checkbox is checked, the search will recurse
1436into any subdirectories of directories in the file specification. For example,
1437if the file specification is <code>/usr/src/linux/*.c</code>, the search will
1438examine <code>.c</code> files in <code>/usr/src/linux</code> and all of its
1439subdirectories.
1440<p>
1441If the "Search files in memory" checkbox is checked, if a file matching the
1442file specification is currently loaded in a buffer, the contents of the buffer
1443will be searched rather than the file as last saved on disk, so unsaved
1444changes to the buffer will be taken into account.
1445<p>
1446You can use the command <a href="#escape">escape</a>, mapped by default to
1447Escape, to cancel a search in progress.

1891The search is case-insensitive unless (or until) the pattern contains at least
1892one upper case character.
1893<br><br>
1894In the incremental find textfield, any key combination mapped to
1895<code>incrementalFind</code> or <code>findNext</code> can be used to search
1896for the next occurrence of the current pattern, and any key combination mapped
1897to <code>findPrev</code> can be used to search for the previous occurrence of
1898the pattern. (By default, <code>findNext</code> is mapped to F3 and Ctrl G, and
1899<code>findPrev</code> is mapped to Shift F3 and Ctrl H.)
1900<p>
1901Ctrl W can be used to copy text from the buffer into the search pattern. Ctrl
1902W copies the text from the buffer starting at the current location of the
1903caret up until the end of the current word (or the end of the next word, if
1904the caret is already at the end of the current word).
1905<p>
1906Ctrl P and Ctrl N can be used to navigate through the history list of

1909If you invoke <a href="#incrementalFind">incrementalFind</a> and then realize
1910you'd rather use <a href="#find">find</a> instead, you can get there by simply

3278<p>
3279Replaces one or more occurrences of one pattern with another.
3280<p>
3281If the "Ignore case" checkbox is checked, j tries, paradoxically, to preserve
3282case, if possible, when it makes a replacement. More precisely, if the pattern
3283is all upper case, j will make the replacement all upper case, and if the
3284pattern begins with an upper case letter, j will make the replacement begin
3285with an upper case letter. For example, if the pattern is "javaFormatter" and
3286the replacement is "cppFormatter", "JAVAFORMATTER" will become "CPPFORMATTER",
3287and "JavaFormatter" will  become "CppFormatter". These are the only two
3288situations in which the replacement string is altered to preserve case.
3289Upper-case letters in the replacement string are NEVER converted to lower case.
3290This may seem strange, but in practice, chances are good that this is the
3291behavior you want.
3292<p>
3293If the "Whole words only" checkbox is checked, occurrences of the pattern will
3294be replaced only if they are delimited by characters that cannot appear in a
3295Java identifier. Generally speaking, Java identifiers can contain letters,
3296digits, and the characters '$' and '_'.
3297<p>
3298If the "Regular expressions" checkbox is checked, the pattern will be
3299interpreted as a regular expression rather than as a literal string. In
3300addition, the replacement string can refer to all or part of what is matched by
3301the pattern. "\&amp;" in the replacement string will be replaced with the
3302entire string that matched the pattern. "\<i>n</i>", where <i>n</i> is a digit
3303from 1 to 9, will be replaced by whatever matched the <i>n</i>th
3304parenthesized grouping in the pattern.
3305See <a href="regexp.html">Regular Expressions</a>.
3306<p>
3307For example, if you specify this pattern:
3308<pre>
3309    foo\((.*), (.*)\)
3310</pre>
3311and this replacement:
3312<pre>
3313    foo(\2, \1)
3314</pre>
3315the effect would be to reverse the order of the arguments in every call to the
3316function foo. Note that you need to escape the literal parentheses in the
3317pattern, but not in the replacement.
3318<p>
3319If the "Multiline pattern" checkbox is checked, both the regular expression
3320and the replacement can contain newline characters ("\n"). Because of the way
3321j handles things internally, a single "\n" should be used to match a newline
3322even if the file being edited uses "\r\n" or "\r" as its line separator
3323string. (The "Multiline pattern" feature is experimental and is not enabled by
3324default.)
3325<p>
3326If the "Restrict changes to selected text" checkbox is checked, only those
3327occurrences of the pattern that fall within the current selection are replaced.
3328Otherwise, if a block is marked, replacements are carried out starting at the
3329beginning of the marked block.
3330<p>
3331If the "Confirm changes" checkbox is checked, you will be prompted to confirm
3332each replacement.

3337
3338<a name="replaceInFiles">replaceInFiles</a><dl><dd>
3339<p>
3340Replaces one or more occurrences of one pattern with another in multiple files.
3341If a file matching the file specification is already loaded in a buffer, the
3342operation is performed on the contents of the buffer rather than the file as
3343last saved on disk, so unsaved changes to the buffer are never lost. Files that
3344were not previously loaded are saved automatically if any replacements are
3345made. Buffers created specifically for the replace in files operation are
3346deleted when they are no longer needed.
3347<p>
3348Several file specifications can be supplied at once, separated by semicolons.
3349If the full path is not given in a file specification, the current directory or
3350the directory last specified by a full path is used.
3351<p>
3352For example, if the file specification is <code>*.c;/usr/src/emacs-20.3/src/*.c;*.h</code>,
3353the search will examine <code>.c</code> files in the current directory and
3354<code>.c</code> and <code>.h</code> files in <code>/usr/src/emacs-20.3/src</code>.
3355<p>
3356If the "Ignore case" checkbox is checked, j tries, paradoxically, to preserve
3357case, if possible, when it makes a replacement. More precisely, if the pattern
3358is all upper case, j will make the replacement all upper case, and if the
3359pattern begins with an upper case letter, j will make the replacement begin
3360with an upper case letter. For example, if the pattern is "javaFormatter" and
3361the replacement is "cppFormatter", "JAVAFORMATTER" will become "CPPFORMATTER",
3362and "JavaFormatter" will  become "CppFormatter". These are the only two
3363situations in which the replacement string is altered to preserve case.
3364Upper-case letters in the replacement string are NEVER converted to lower case.
3365This may seem strange, but in practice, chances are good that this is the
3366behavior you want.
3367<p>
3368If the "Whole words only" checkbox is checked, occurrences of the pattern will
3369be replaced only if they are delimited by characters that cannot appear in a
3370Java identifier. Generally speaking, Java identifiers can contain letters,
3371digits, and the characters '$' and '_'.
3372<p>
3373If the "Regular expressions" checkbox is checked, the pattern is interpreted
3374as a regular expression rather than as a literal string. In addition, the
3375replacement string can refer to all or part of what is matched by the pattern.
3376"\&amp;" in the replacement string will be replaced with the entire string

3821If a multi-line region is selected, or if the property <a href="preferences.html#tabAlwaysIndent">tabAlwaysIndent</a>
3822is true, this command simply calls <a href="commands.html#indentLineOrRegion">indentLineOrRegion</a>.
3823<p>
3824Otherwise (i.e. no multi-line selection, <a href="preferences.html#tabAlwaysIndent">tabAlwaysIndent</a> is
3825false), the behavior depends on the location of the caret.
3826<p>
3827If the caret is at the very beginning of the text on the line, or in the
3828whitespace to the left of the text, <a href="commands.html#tab">tab</a> calls <a href="commands.html#indentLine">indentLine</a>.
3829If the caret is in the midst of the actual text on the line, <a href="commands.html#tab">tab</a>
3830inserts either a single tab character or the equivalent number of spaces,
3831depending on the setting of the <a href="preferences.html#useTabs">useTabs</a> property.

4070A paragraph is basically defined as a block of contiguous lines with blank
4071lines before and after it. To make the definition a bit more flexible,
4072a line starting with &lt;p&gt;, &lt;br&gt; or &lt;pre&gt; is recognized as the
4073first line of a paragraph, even if the line before it is not blank. Similarly,
4074a line ending with &lt;p&gt;, &lt;/p&gt;, &lt;br&gt; or
4075&lt;/pre&gt; is recognized as the last line of a paragraph, even if the line after it is not
4076blank.
4077<br><br>
4078This function does not move the caret, so you can reformat the
4079paragraph and immediately continue typing right where you left off.
