# [Find and Replace](https://github.com/thierryc/Sketch-Find-And-Replace/) for Sketch

![Find and Replace for Sketch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thierryc/Sketch-Find-And-Replace/master/assets/icon.png)

## V2 is ready for Sketch 53, 54...

[Folow me on twitter](https://twitter.com/@Autre_planete) to be posted.

For Sketch 52 and previous use the V1.

## How to

Finds text in selected layer(s) and all layers contained within - and replaces it with different text. Features partial, case sensitive and full-document matching.

Now works with symbol overrides. 🎉

Find and Replace [Sketch Plugin source code](https://github.com/thierryc/Sketch-Find-And-Replace/) on github

![Find and Replace dialog](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thierryc/Sketch-Find-And-Replace/master/Screenshots/screenshot.png)

## Installation

Download and unzip, then double-click on the `Find and Replace.sketchplugin` file.
Sketch will copy it to the plugins folder and install it automatically.

## Update > 1.6

Use Sketch Automatic Update (Sketch 45+).

## Usage
**Menu** - You can access it from the menu **Plugins → Find and Replace**
**Keyboard** - Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut **cmd + shift + f**

**Complex documents** - If you have an extremely complex document, and set the scope to the entire document, it might take a few seconds longer to process it all. Don't panic if you get a beach ball, it hasn't crashed Sketch, it just has to go through every layer in every artboard in every page and do a comparison.

## Options

### Search scope
How much of your document it will actually search

* If you have selected layers to search in, then **Selected layers** will be chosen automatically.
* You can also choose to search all layers in the **Current page**
* Or you can search the **Whole document** and it will search every layer in every artboard in every page of your document.

### Case matching
Whether it matches exactly as you typed or not

**Case insensitive** by default ("john" will match "John")

**Case sensitive** it will match exactly as you typed it ("john" won't match "John").

### Match whole words or phrases only

Whether it matches whole or partial words

**Yes** (default) will match whole words ("oh" will not match "John")

**No** will match partial words ("oh" will match "John", if you wanted to change him to "Joan" for example)

## Other features

**Remembers your settings** - Remembers your settings for next time you do a find/replace (doesn't remember find/replace/scope as these will change each time)

## Regex new feature

Get the Regex Power ! ⚡️

### "John Smith" to "Smith John"

Find
```
(\w+)\s+(\w+)
```

Replace with
```
$2 $1
```

Result: Smith John.

#### Replace all double spaces

Find
```
\s{2,}

```

Replace with
```
(one space)

```

### Disclaimer
