Search and replace macro in Netbeans

Question

How do I record (or write) search and replace macro in Netbeans?

I want to record the actions I do in Ctrl+H dialog.

Answer 1

This is not possible (Netbeans 6.8). The only field you can preset is the field "Find What". The other options stay unchanged. Eventually, if you have a complex regexp to search, you can use the following tip : caret-end-line insert-break "regexp" selection-begin-line replace remove-line

Answer 2

I ran into somewhat the same problem! Maybe this will ease it up a bit! http://mrhaki.blogspot.com/2008/12/use-regular-expressions-for-search-and.html
