6.3  How do I

                               6.3.1  Automatically Complete Statements

With IntelliSense, the Text editor makes coding easier than ever. IntelliSense options include:

• List Members, a pop-up list of valid member functions and variables.

• Type Info, a ToolTip that displays the complete identifier declaration.

• Parameter Info, a ToolTip that displays the complete function declaration.

• Complete Word, a feature that fills in the rest of the variable or function name for you.

Using the Members List

The Members list displays valid member variables or functions for the class or structure to the left of the insertion point. When invoked on a blank line, or outside of a recognizable scope, the Members list displays globals.

To use the Members list

1.     Type your class or structure declaration, then type "." or "->". Or, simply type the class name and the scope operator (::).

Magic C++ displays all valid members in a scrollable list. For example   .

2 You can scroll or arrow through the list, or, if you know the first few letters of the member name, simply begin typing to jump directly to the member in the list. If you type a word that is not in the list, you will be taken to the nearest match.

3 To insert the selected member in your code, do one of the following:

4 Type the character that will follow the member, such as open-parenthesis, space, semi-colon and so forth, to insert the selected member followed by the character that you have just typed. This works for any non-identifier character.

5 Press RETURN, TAB, CTRL+ENTER, or double-click to insert just the member.

For more information about the contents of the Members list, see  in the Members List.

Viewing the Parameter List for a Function

When you are typing a function, you can display a ToolTip containing the complete function prototype, including parameters. For overloaded functions, you can select which parameter list you wish to view. The Parameter Info ToolTip is also displayed for nested functions.

To display Parameter Info

1       With your insertion point next to a member function, type an open parenthesis as you normally would to enclose the parameter list.

Magic C++ displays the complete declaration for the function in a pop-up window just under the insertion point. The first parameter in the list appears bolded:

For overloaded functions, the parameter list gives you a choice of which function you want to use:

2       To switch between functions, use the arrows

3         As you type the function parameters, the bolding changes to reflect the next parameter you need to enter, for example:

4       Press ESC at any time to dismiss the list, or continue typing until you have completed the function.

Typing the closing parenthesis also dismisses the parameter list.

5       If you dismiss the parameter list before completing the function and wish to view it again, press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE, or right-click in the Text editor and choose Parameter Info from the shortcut menu.

Viewing the Variable Type

The Type Info option displays a ToolTip containing the complete declaration for any identifier.

To display Type Info

Let the mouse hover over the identifier.

To turn off the automatic display of Type Info

Clear the Auto type info check box under Statement completion options on the Editor tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu).

Automatically Completing a Variable or Function Name

The Complete Word option fills in the rest of your function or variable name for you. This can save you from having to repeatedly type long names.

To complete the current word

1.     Type in the first few letters of the name, then press CTRL+SPACE.

IntelliSense completes the name for you. If what you've typed cannot be disambiguated, the Members list appears, with the nearest matching word highlighted.

2.     Continue typing to narrow the matches.

3.     Press ENTER to select a term from the list.

Note   Pressing CTRL+SPACE on an empty line, or outside of recognizable scope (for instance, just before a function name) opens the Members list populated with globals.

Viewing the List of Globals

You can use IntelliSense to view and select from a list of all globals, including system API functions, C++ classes, instance variables, and local variables.

To view globals

With the insertion point on an empty line in your source file, or outside of a recognizable scope, press CTRL+ALT+T.

The Members list appears, populated with the globals. For more information about the items that populate this list, see Icons in the Members List.

Modifying IntelliSense Options

By default, most IntelliSense options appear automatically. You can turn off any of the automatic options so that they occur "on demand," so to speak. In this case, you invoke them only when you want, via a menu command or keystroke combination.

Even when the IntelliSense options are on by default, you can always explicitly invoke them. You can also change the default key mappings for each option.

8.     In the Foreground box, select a foreground color.

The Background and Foreground boxes display the 20 standard colors and the Automatic setting. The text sample displayed in the Sample box changes to the color you select.

The behavior of the Automatic setting depends on the element selected. For colors that map to standard system elements (such as Foreground Color, Background Color, or Selected Text Color), the Automatic setting sets the element to the appropriate system color. For syntax coloring elements and other non-system defined colors, the Automatic setting indicates that the foreground color or background color from the same category is to be used.

9.     Click OK.

                               6.3.3  Finding and Replacing Text

You can search for text in a single source file or in multiple files. You can search for literal text strings or use regular expressions to find words or characters.

With the Find command, you can search the active window for the following types of text strings:

Whole Word Match   Matches all occurrences of a text string not preceded or followed by an alphanumeric character or the underscore (_).

Case Match   Searches for text that matches the capitalization of the text string.

Using Regular Expressions

A regular expression is a search string that uses special characters to match a text pattern in a file. You can use regular expressions with both the Find and Replace Functions.

Introducing Regular Expressions

Regular expressions provide a flexible approach to matching text. They can be very simple, such as f.r, which finds any three letter word beginning with f and ending in r. Or it can be very complex, with several parts described in parentheses that are individually evaluated.

By combining small expressions to form larger complex (compound) expressions, you can create very specific search criteria. For example, you can find any word beginning with pre which also ends with ed, such as pretended or presented.

Regular expressions can be used to match text that can vary between occurrences. For example, searching for a particular assignment operation that has been typed with varying amounts of white space, is now possible using regular expressions.

Simple Expressions

In its most simple form, a simple expression consists of one or more characters. For example,

a
if
move
while

A sequence of characters is called a character string.

Character Classes

A character class is a number of characters enclosed in square brackets. For example,

[0123456789]

matches any one of the characters inside the brackets. This character class matches any single digit. This digit character class can be written more simply as:

[0-9]

The '-' indicates a range of characters between the '0' and '9'. The order in which a range of characters is specified is related to the order in which characters appear in the ASCII character set. A complete list of the 7-bit ASCII characters can be found in Appendix A.

Another example of a range within a character class is,

[a-z]

this would match any lower case character, while

[a-zA-Z]

would match any uppercase or lowercase character.

If the first character after the '[' is a circumflex ( ^ ), the character class matches all characters which are not listed in the brackets. For example,

[^0-9]

would match all characters that are not digits.

NOTE:A '-' or ']' as the first character after the '[' is interpreted literally to allow the user to include dashes and square brackets in character classes.

Special Character Classes

The period ( . ) character class matches any single character except a new line. For example,

f.r

would match any three character string starting with an 'f' and ending with a 'r'.

Repeating Patterns

Any regular expression, either simple or compound, followed by an asterisk, indicates that zero or more repetitions of the regular expression will be matched. For example,

[0-9][0-9]*

matches a pattern of characters starting with a digit, followed by zero or more additional digits. This is a typical example of a regular expression used to match a pattern of characters representing a typical number.

[A-Z][a-z]*

The regular expression above matches an uppercase letter followed by zero or more lowercase letters.

The '+' character can be used in a similar manner to '*' to match one or more repetitions of the preceding regular expression. For example,

[0-9]+

matches a sequence of one or more digits, which is the same as the previous example,

[0-9][0-9]*

Using the brace brackets you can specify a specific number or repetitions for a regular expression. For example,

[0-9]{3}

matches a sequence of three digits. A range of repetitions can be defined within the brace brackets. For example,

[0-9]{1,10}

matches a sequence of 1 to 10 digits.

Optional Expressions

A regular expression immediately followed by a question mark ( ? ) makes the expression optional. For example

A?

matches 0 or 1 occurrence of the letter 'A'.

Alternatives

Two regular expressions, simple or compound, may be separated by a vertical bar ( | ) to produce an expression that matches either one of the expressions. For example,

[a-z]|[A-Z]

matches either a single lowercase or uppercase letter.

Grouping

Using parentheses, expressions may be grouped together. For example,

(top|middle|bottom)

matches any of the strings top, middle or bottom. Grouping is especially useful when constructing compound regular expressions which use one or more of the expressions described above. For example,

([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)|(-?+?[0-9])

matches any C style identifier or any integer constant.

matching level

To search forward for a matching level

Press the CTRL+]

The command begins searching for one of matched delimiters, which are (, {, and [. When the matched delimiter is found, the cursor is positioned at the matching right-side delimiter. If a matching delimiter cannot be found, the editor beeps.

To move to a matching brace

1.     Place the insertion point immediately in front of a brace.

2.     Press the CTRL+] key combination.

The insertion point moves forward or backward to the matching brace. Choosing the command again returns the insertion point to its starting place. If a matching brace cannot be found, the editor beeps. This method also works for parentheses, angle brackets, and square brackets.
