Replaces text in loaded classic XLS worksheet cells and returns the number of changed cells.
Syntax
function ReplaceText(SearchText: WideString; ReplacementText: WideString): Integer; overload;
function ReplaceText(SearchText: WideString; ReplacementText: WideString; MatchCase: Boolean): Integer; overload;
Remarks
ReplaceText scans only cells that already exist in the worksheet model. The two-parameter overload is case-insensitive. Pass True for MatchCase when replacements must match the original casing exactly.
The method updates ordinary text cells only. Formula cells and non-text cells are left unchanged, so template placeholders can be replaced without rewriting formulas or numeric values.
Example
Changed := Workbook.Sheets[1].ReplaceText(
'[CONTACT]',
'John Smith');
