Searching and Replacing Cell Contents
Spreadsheet documents, like text documents, provide a function for searching and
replacing.
The descriptor objects for searching and replacing in spreadsheet documents are not
created directly through the document object, but rather through the Sheets list. The
following is an example of a search and replace process:
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim ReplaceDescriptor As Object
Dim I As Integer
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
ReplaceDescriptor = Sheet.createReplaceDescriptor()
ReplaceDescriptor.SearchString = "is"
ReplaceDescriptor.ReplaceString = "was"
For I = 0 to Doc.Sheets.Count - 1
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(I)
Sheet.ReplaceAll(ReplaceDescriptor)
Next I
