Item	Description
Text to find	Enter a search string or use the down arrow to select a previously entered search string.
Replace with	Enter the replacement string. To select from a list of previously entered search strings, click the down arrow next to the input box. To replace the text with nothing, leave this input box blank. You can use the following escape sequences in the replacement string: Escape sequence Description \\ Prints a single backslash. A single backslash (\) is interpreted as an escape character, even if the character that follows the backslash does not need to be escaped. For example, if you write "\b" in the replacement string, "b" is printed. To print a single backslash, you must escape the backslash with another backslash (\\). For example, if you write "\\b" in the replacement string, "\b" is printed. \n Prints a new line. \r Prints a new line. \t Prints a tab. For example, if your replacement string is "line1\n\tline2 \\", the resulting string is: line1 line2 \
