Zeus IDE

Is there an option to replace characters with a backspace ?

Example Input:

This is 01 text.
This is 02 text.

[do some replace command to find the numbers "0" and replace it with a backspace to result in ...]

Output:

This is 1 text.
This is 2 text.

Hi Jay,

In general, depending on the shape of the text being changed Zeus offers several ways to manipulate the text including a keyboard macro script, a search and replace or maybe even a column cut and copy.

But in to answer your question to convert this text:
into this text: using a Search and Replace this is what I would do:

1. Select the Edit Replace menu
2. Enter this Find text (0)([0-9]+)
3. Enter this Replace text \2
4. Check the Use regular expression option
5. Click the Replace All button

For more details on how to better understand the search string that I used use the Help, Help Contents menu and click on the User Manual, Regular Expressions section.
