When building and maintaining large decision tables it is useful to be able to find and optionally replace keywords inside of condition and action stubs as well as rule descriptions. LogicGem offers Find / Replace dialog found in the Edit menu for this purpose (see Figure 15).
-
Find What: Enter the desired text to search for and click the Find Next Button. Repeatedly click the Find Next button to find more occurrences.
-
Replace With: Enter the desired replacement text and click on the Replace or Replace All button and the found text will be replaced with the replacement text.
-
Search - Current Table or All Tables: Limit the search to the current table or search all open tables.
-
Match Case: Check the box to match the case exactly as entered or ignore case.
-
Include Rule Descriptions: Check the box to search the rule descriptions in the search for the desired text.
-
Found Text (at the bottom of the dialog): The Find / Replace function displays the search results here, along with an indication of where in the decision table the text was found (e.g. Action Stub 3). For additional convenience, you can replace or edit the text yourself, and then click the Replace button.
-
Previously used find and replace keywords appear in the pull-down lists after subsequent use.
