Modules
What's a module and how do I
create one ?
When you create a Search Task or a Search And Replace Task, you
have the option of saving the task as a module for later use. To
create a module you just save the task you are working on in the way
you would save a file in any other application. The module is saved
as XML.
What can I do with
modules ?
You can reload them for reuse or you can refer to them within
other modules. Modules can be referenced within other modules in one
two ways: a Module Insertion or a Module call. Module
Calls are not currently convertible to code snippets.
Module Insertions
Module Insertions are a shorthand way of including a module
inside another module. The effect is as if you had copied the
contents of the referenced module into the insertion point; the
benefit is that instead of the actual code you just see a reference
to the inserted module (great when you are constantly repeating
parts of your task ).
Module Calls
Module Calls work by passing a text string to another module and
receiving the processed string in return. The text string you pass
can be a predefined string or (probably more usefully) a string you
have captured during processing.
