This interface class provides methods to find and replace text in the univer.

APIs

ensureCompleteAsync

Ensure the find operation is completed. Especially when the current sheet changed use this method to ensure the find operation is completed.

Signature

ensureCompleteAsync(): Promise<Nullable<IFindComplete>>

Returns

  • (Promise<Nullable<IFindComplete>>) — The find complete result.

Examples

// Create a text-finder to find the text '1'.
const textFinder = await univerAPI.createTextFinderAsync('1')

// Find all cells that contain the text '1'.
const matchCells = textFinder.findAll()
matchCells.forEach((cell) => {
  console.log(cell.getA1Notation())
})

const fWorkbook = univerAPI.getActiveWorkbook()
const sheets = fWorkbook.getSheets()

// Change the current sheet to the second sheet.
sheets[1]?.activate()

// Ensure the find operation is completed of the current sheet.
await textFinder.ensureCompleteAsync()
const matchCells2 = textFinder.findAll()
matchCells2.forEach((cell) => {
  console.log(cell.getA1Notation())
})

findAll

Get all the matched cells of the current sheet, the current matched cell is the last matched cell. If current sheet changed, use await textFinder.ensureCompleteAsync() to ensure the find operation is completed.

Signature

findAll(): FRange[]

Returns

  • (FRange[]) — All the matched cells.

Tags

  • @throws — If the find operation is not completed.

Examples

// Assume the current sheet is empty sheet.
const fWorkbook = univerAPI.getActiveWorkbook()
