Even the other coding tools I've used also use search and replace!

But, Search in what and replace what?

Here is a small part of the function which updates part of a column of QLineEdit widgets in homestead.cpp:
Qt Code: 
  1. ...
  2. ui.leSSSN->setText(persRec.value(9).toString());
  3. ui.lePart->setText(persRec.value(10).toString());
  4. ui.leTotalIncome->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(11).toDouble(),'f',2));
  5. ui.leP2Line1->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(12).toDouble(),'f',2));
  6. ui.leP2Line2->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(13).toDouble(),'f',2));
  7. ui.leP2Line3->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(14).toDouble(),'f',2));
  8. ui.leP2Line4->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(15).toDouble(),'f',2));
  9. ui.leP2Line5->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(16).toDouble(),'f',2));
  10. ui.leP2Line6->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(17).toDouble(),'f',2));
  11. ui.leP2Line7a->setText(QString::number(persRec.value(18).toDouble(),'f',2));
  12. ...

We're talking a tax form with several subforms so you have an idea of how many QLineEdit widgets there are on that form, each with it's own identifying name. Global S&R games aren't practical here.

Neither are arrays or array functions.
