Results
When a search is complete and any matches have been found, it is possible to manipulate the grid rows (matches) in various ways to customise or store the results.
Some of the options available involve selecting multiple rows in the grid before execution.
Below, is a list of the options:
Copy to Clipboard
Select one or multiple grid rows and choose the Copy operation from either the context-sensitive menu (right-click anywhere on the grid) or the Edit menu.
This function will copy the selected text to the Windows clipboard from where you can paste into any other application that supports it.
Save To File
Choose "Save Results..." on the File menu to save all of the matches to file. Files can be saved in the following formats:
- Comma separated Values (*.csv)
- Microsoft Word (*.doc)
- HTML (*.htm[l])
- Plain Text (*.txt)
- Microsoft Excel (*.xls)
Append to File
Select "Append Results..." on the File menu to append all the current matches to an existing file of a compatible format. The following file formats are supported by the append operation:
- Comma Separated Values (*.csv)
- HTML (*.htm[l])
Drag and Drop
For programs that support Drag and Drop (such as the Microsoft Office programs) it is possible to drag any number of rows from CatView to that application. In most cases, the same functionality is available by copying and pasting into the application. Dragging is simply another, possibly more convenient way, of effecting this functionality.
Replace
Select "Replace..." on the Edit menu to replace words or phrases in the results grid. The process of replacing in CatView is identical to that found in most word-processors.
This option is useful for when words are misspelled or a translation is required.
Context-sensitive help is provided via the question-mark icon at the top-right of the Replace dialog.
