ReplaceNextCommand.execute(text, replaceText, matchCase) Method

Executes the ReplaceNextCommand command by applying the specified settings.

May result in taking no action if the command’s state does not allow command execution. Use the object’s getState method to check the command state.

Declaration

execute(
    text: string,
    replaceText: string,
    matchCase: boolean
): boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
text	string	A string value specifying a text to replace.
replaceText	string	A string value specifying the inserted text.
matchCase	boolean	true, to perform a case-sensitive search; otherwise, false.

Returns

Type	Description
boolean	A Boolean value identifying whether method execution was successful or failed.

Remarks

The execute method checks the command state (obtained using the getState method) before executing, and decides whether the action can be performed.

Usage example:

JS

richEdit.commands.replaceNext.execute("matching text", "new text", true);
