Editor.rereplace

[Leo Velthuis]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the rereplace function to change some files. But sometimes I only need to replace things once.
I tried different ways to use the maxCount option. But none of them seem to work.

This is the format I found online:
Editor.rereplace(search, replace[, flags[, startPosition[, endPosition[, maxCount]]]])

These are the codes I've tried:
editor.rereplace(u"*\n*C", u"*C", maxCount=1)
editor.rereplace(u"*\n*C", u"*C", 1)
editor.rereplace(u"*\n*C", u"*C", "1")

The replacing works fine. But it does it to all items and not just the first one.

I was hoping someone could tell me what I'm doing from.

Thanks in advance!

Leo,

I believe that if you want to use the maxCount argument of .rereplace(), you must also specify flags, startPosition, and endPosition. Thus, begin experimenting with a call to .rereplace() that has six parameters. I think you will then have better luck.

Hey,

Thanks a lot! You were right I changed it to:
editor.rereplace(u"*\n*C", u"*C", 0, 0, 10000, 1)

And now it works as intended!

Thanks again!
