[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and particularly to a full-text replacement method, a full-text replacement device, a text editor, and a computing device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, common text editing software usually provides a full-text replacement function. Based on the full-text replacement operation, a certain key character a in the text content can be replaced with another key character b. According to the existing full-text replacement solution, all the text content to be replaced in the initial state is first obtained and saved. After all the key characters a are replaced with b at one time, if it is necessary to restore the replaced text content, all the replaced key characters b in the text content need to be restored to a at one time.

[0003] For large text files with a large amount of text content, using the existing method, during the process of full-text replacement and restoration operations, due to a large amount of replaced content, it will occupy too much memory, and it is easy to cause the phenomenon of text interface jamming during the execution of full-text replacement and restoration.

[0011] Optionally, in the full-text replacement method according to the present invention, the method further includes the steps of determining the replacement time required to complete the full-text replacement according to the initial replacement speed and the number of key characters, and displaying the replacement time on the control interface; during the process of sequentially replacing each key character in the text content with the target character, the method further includes the steps of determining the remaining number of key characters, determining the remaining replacement time required to complete the full-text replacement according to the current replacement speed and the remaining number, and displaying the remaining replacement time on the control interface to update the replacement time.

[0012] Optionally, in the full-text replacement method according to the present invention, the step of finding one or more key characters included in the text content includes: determining the replacement position corresponding to each key character; sequentially replacing each key character in the text content with the target character includes: traversing the replacement positions corresponding to each key character, and sequentially replacing each key character in the text content with the target character based on each replacement position.

[0013] Optionally, in the full-text replacement method according to the present invention, the step of determining the initial replacement speed according to the number of key characters included in the text content includes: when n ≤ 10 6 , f(n) = 10 characters / second; when n > 10 6 , f(n) = 10 * (n / 10 6 ) characters / second; where n represents the number of key characters, and f(n) represents the initial replacement speed.

[0014] Optionally, in the full-text replacement method according to the present invention, the method further includes the steps of checking whether each key character in the text content has been replaced with the target character. If so, a message indicating that the replacement is completed is displayed, and the text content after the replacement is displayed. If not, it is determined that the replacement fails, a message indicating that the replacement fails is displayed, and the number of replaced key characters is displayed.

[0015] Optionally, in the full text replacement method according to the present invention, after completing the full text replacement, the method further includes the steps of: receiving a full text restoration request for a target character in a text file; traversing the text content in the text file to find one or more target characters included in the text content; and based on the initial replacement speed, sequentially restoring each target character in the text content to the key character until the full text restoration is completed.

[0020] According to the technical solution of the present invention, a full-text replacement method is provided. When the user requests to perform a full-text replacement on a key character, each key character in the text content is successively replaced with a target character, rather than replacing all the key characters in the text content at once and uniformly with the target character. Based on this, for large text files, in the case where there are many key characters to be replaced in the text content, the successive replacement method can avoid occupying a large amount of memory resources, thereby avoiding the problem of lag during the use of the text editor. In addition, the present invention determines the initial replacement speed according to the number of key characters to be replaced in the text content, and replaces the key characters in the text content based on the determined initial replacement speed. In this way, the replacement speed is reasonably controlled according to the number of key characters to be replaced, so as to avoid taking a long time in the case of a large number of key characters to be replaced, and ensure that the replacement efficiency is improved as much as possible without lagging.

[0021] In addition, the present invention displays a control interface during the replacement process. In this way, during the full-text replacement process, the user can adjust the replacement speed and pause the replacement process based on the control interface according to the actual situation and needs, so as to meet the user's needs as much as possible and improve the user experience.

[0022] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to be able to understand the technical means of the present invention more clearly, it can be implemented according to the content of the specification.

[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present disclosure can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of an exemplary computing device 100.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, in a basic configuration 102, the computing device 100 typically includes a system memory 106 and one or more processors 104. A memory bus 108 can be used for communication between the processor 104 and the system memory 106.

[0030] Depending on the desired configuration, the processor 104 can be any type of processor, including but not limited to: a microprocessor (UP), a microcontroller (UC), a digital signal processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. The processor 104 can include one or more levels of cache such as a level 1 cache 110 and a level 2 cache 112, a processor core 114, and registers 116. Exemplary processor cores 114 can include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a floating point unit (FPU), a digital signal processing core (DSP core), or any combination thereof. An exemplary memory controller 118 can be used with the processor 104, or in some implementations, the memory controller 118 can be an internal part of the processor 104.

[0031] Depending on the desired configuration, the system memory 106 can be any type of memory, including but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.), or any combination thereof. The system memory 106 can include an operating system 120, one or more applications 122, and program data 124. In some embodiments, the applications 122 can be arranged to execute instructions on the operating system by one or more processors 104 using the program data 124.

[0032] The computing device 100 further includes a storage device 132, and the storage device 132 includes a removable storage 136 and a non-removable storage 138.

[0033] The computing device 100 may also include a storage interface bus 134. The storage interface bus 134 enables communication from storage devices 132 (e.g., removable storage 136 and non-removable storage 138) via the bus / interface controller 130 to the basic configuration 102. At least a portion of the operating system 120, applications 122, and data 124 may be stored on the removable storage 136 and / or non-removable storage 138, and when the computing device 100 is powered on or an application 122 is to be executed, it is loaded into the system memory 106 via the storage interface bus 134 and executed by one or more processors 104.

[0034] The computing device 100 may also include an interface bus 140 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output device 142, peripheral interface 144, and communication device 146) to the basic configuration 102 via the bus / interface controller 130. Example output devices 142 include a graphics processing unit 148 and an audio processing unit 150. They may be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices such as a display or speakers via one or more A / V ports 152. Example peripheral interfaces 144 may include a serial interface controller 154 and a parallel interface controller 156, which may be configured to facilitate communication with external devices such as input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device) or other peripherals (e.g., printer, scanner, etc.) via one or more I / O ports 158. Example communication device 146 may include a network controller 160, which may be arranged to facilitate communication with one or more other computing devices 162 via one or more communication ports 164 through a network communication link.

[0035] The network communication link may be an example of a communication medium. A communication medium typically may embody computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transmission mechanism, and may include any information delivery medium. A “modulated data signal” may be a signal in which one or more of its data concentrations or its changes can be encoded in the signal in a manner that encodes information. As a non-limiting example, the communication medium may include wired media such as a wired network or a dedicated line network, and various wireless media such as sound, radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR), or other wireless media. The term computer-readable medium as used herein may include both storage media and communication media.

[0036] The computing device 100 can be implemented as a personal computer including desktop computer and notebook computer configurations. Of course, the computing device 100 can also be implemented as part of a small-sized portable (or mobile) electronic device, which can be, for example, a cellular phone, a digital camera, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a personal media player device, a wireless network browsing device, a personal head-mounted device, an application-specific device, or a hybrid device incorporating any of the above functions. It can even be implemented as a server, such as a file server, a database server, an application server, and a WEB server, etc. Embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0037] In an embodiment according to the present invention, the computing device 100 is configured to execute the full-text replacement method 200 according to the present invention. Among them, the application of the computing device 100 contains multiple program instructions for executing the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention, and these program instructions can instruct the processor to execute the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention, so that the computing device 100 can replace the key characters in the full text by executing the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the application arranged on the operating system of the computing device 100 contains a text editor 300, and the text editor 300 contains multiple program instructions for executing the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention, so that the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention can be executed in the text editor 300.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a full-text replacement device 350 resides in the text editor 300, and the full-text replacement device 350 contains multiple program instructions for executing the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention, so that the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention can be executed in the full-text replacement device 350 of the text editor 300.

[0040] Figure 2 A flowchart of the full-text replacement method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The full-text replacement method 200 can be executed in the text editor 300 of a computing device (such as the aforementioned computing device 100), specifically in the full-text replacement device 350 of the text editor 300.

[0041] It should be noted that the full-text replacement method 200 according to the present invention can be executed in various text editors, and the present invention is not limited to the specific type of text editor. When the text editor opens a text file, the full-text replacement method 200 of the present invention can be executed.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the full-text replacement method 200 starts from step S210.

[0043] In step S210, a full-text replacement request for the key characters in the text file currently opened by the text editor is received. That is, the user requests to replace all the key characters in the text file with the target characters.

[0044] In one implementation, the user can trigger the use of the full-text replacement function through a click operation. For example, within the window of the text editor, there is a control corresponding to the full-text replacement function. The user can call out the corresponding full-text replacement function interface by clicking on the full-text replacement function control within the text editor window or through the full-text replacement shortcut key. Subsequently, on the full-text replacement function interface, the key characters for replacing the text content in the text file are input, and the target characters are input. Based on the key characters and the target characters, a full-text replacement request for the key characters in the text file is sent to request the text editor to replace all the key characters in the text file with the target characters.

[0045] Subsequently, in step S220, all the text content in the text file is traversed to find one or more key characters included in all the text content of the text file. The one or more key characters found are the characters to be replaced. Here, by traversing the text content in the text file from beginning to end, after each key character is found, the replacement position corresponding to the key character can be determined, so as to replace the key character with the target character based on the replacement position of each key character.

[0046] Subsequently, in step S230, the initial replacement speed is determined according to the number of key characters included in the text content.

[0047] In one implementation, if the number of key characters is represented as n and the initial replacement speed is represented as f(n), then the initial replacement speed f(n) can be determined according to the following method:

[0048] When n ≤ 10 6 , f(n) = 10 characters per second;

[0049] When n > 10 6 , f(n) = 10 * (n / 10 6 ) characters per second. Here, (n / 10 6 ) takes the integer value of k.

[0050] That is to say, when the number of key characters does not exceed 10 6 , the initial replacement speed is 10 characters per second, that is, 10 characters are replaced per second. When the number of key characters is greater than 10 6 , the initial replacement speed is an integer multiple of 10 (10k). In this way, when the number of key characters is relatively large and exceeds 10 6 , for every increase of 10 6, the initial replacement speed will increase by 10 per second accordingly.

[0051] Finally, based on the initial replacement speed, each key character in the text content is successively replaced with the target character until the full text replacement is completed, that is, until all the key characters contained in the text content are replaced with the target character.

[0052] Specifically, in the process of traversing the text content to find one or more key characters, by determining the replacement position corresponding to each key character in the text content, thus, by traversing the replacement positions corresponding to each key character, each key character in the text content is successively replaced with the target character based on the replacement position of each key character.

[0053] It should be noted that in the present invention, each key character in the text content is successively replaced with the target character, rather than all the key characters in the text content being replaced with the target character at once and uniformly. Based on this, for large text files, in the case where there are many key characters to be replaced in the text content, the successive replacement method can avoid occupying too much memory resources, thereby avoiding the problem of the text editor freezing during use.

[0054] In addition, the present invention determines the initial replacement speed according to the number of key characters to be replaced contained in the text content, and replaces the key characters in the text content based on the determined initial replacement speed. In this way, the replacement speed is reasonably controlled according to the number of key characters to be replaced, thereby avoiding taking a long time in the case where there are many key characters to be replaced, and ensuring that the replacement efficiency is improved as much as possible without freezing.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, before each key character in the text content is successively replaced with the target character, and during the process of successively replacing each key character with the target character, a control interface can be displayed on the system desktop of the computing device, and the user can control the full text replacement process based on the control interface, for example, can adjust the replacement speed, pause the replacement process, etc. In addition, information such as the current replacement speed and the remaining replacement time can also be displayed on the control interface.

[0056] In one embodiment, the control interface includes an adjustment control for adjusting the replacement speed, and the user can adjust the replacement speed by operating the adjustment control on the control interface. Specifically, the user sends an adjustment instruction for the replacement speed by operating the adjustment control on the control interface, and after the text editor receives the adjustment instruction for the replacement speed sent by the user on the control interface, determines the new replacement speed after adjustment according to the adjustment instruction. Subsequently, according to the new replacement speed, each remaining key character that has not been replaced is successively replaced with the target character.

[0057] In this way, the user can adjust the replacement speed according to the requirements in the actual application process, so that the speed of replacing the full text can meet the user's needs, improving the user experience.

[0058] In one embodiment, the control interface includes a pause control for pausing the replacement process. The user sends a pause replacement instruction by clicking the pause control on the control interface. After receiving the pause replacement instruction sent by the user on the control interface, the text editor pauses the current replacement process, that is, pauses replacing the remaining critical characters that have not been replaced. Based on the successive replacement scheme of the present invention, during the full-text replacement of critical characters, when the user discovers a problem, the replacement process can be immediately stopped by clicking the pause control.

[0059] In one embodiment, the control interface includes a termination control for terminating the replacement process during replacement. The user sends a termination replacement instruction by clicking the termination control on the control interface. After receiving the termination replacement instruction sent by the user on the control interface, the replacement of the remaining critical characters is terminated midway during replacement, and the replaced critical characters are restored, that is, each target character obtained by replacement is restored to the initial critical character.

[0060] In this way, during the full-text replacement of critical characters, if the user finds that this replacement is not required, the current replacement process can be immediately terminated through the termination control, and the text content can be restored to the initial text content, without having to wait until the replacement is completed to restore the text content. In this way, according to the solution of the present invention, the control of the full-text replacement process is more convenient and efficient.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the initial replacement speed and the number of critical characters, the replacement time required to complete the full-text replacement is determined, and the replacement time is displayed on the control interface.

[0062] In addition, during the process of successively replacing each critical character in the text content with a target character, the remaining number of critical characters can be determined in real time. Based on the current replacement speed and the remaining number, the remaining replacement time required to complete the full-text replacement in the current state is determined, and the remaining replacement time is updated and displayed on the control interface to update the replacement time displayed on the control interface.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, after completing the full-text replacement, it is further checked whether each key character in the text content has been replaced with the target character. If so, a message indicating that the replacement is completed can be displayed on the control interface, and the text content after the replacement can be displayed within the text view for displaying the text content on the window of the text editor, so that all key characters in the text content are replaced with the target character for display, realizing the update of the text content. If not, it is determined that the replacement fails. At this time, a message indicating that the replacement fails can be displayed on the control interface, and the number of key characters that have been replaced can be displayed, so that the user can understand the specific status of the failure of this replacement.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, after completing the full-text replacement by successively replacing each key character in the text content with the target character, in response to the user's restoration request, each target character in the text content can be successively restored to the key character in the original file.

[0065] Specifically, corresponding to the above replacement process, the text editor can receive the user's full-text restoration request for the target characters in the text file. Here, within the window of the text editor, there are controls corresponding to the full-text restoration function. The user can send a full-text restoration request for the target characters in the text file by clicking the full-text restoration control within the window of the text editor or by using the full-text restoration shortcut key, so as to request the text editor to restore all the target characters in the text file to the initial key characters.

[0066] Next, traverse the text content in the text file to find one or more target characters included in the text content. Here, after each target character is found, the restoration position corresponding to the target character can be determined, and then each target character can be successively restored to the key character based on the restoration position of each target character.

[0067] It can be understood that the number of target characters included in the text content after the full-text replacement is the same as the number of key characters included in the text content before the full-text replacement. Therefore, here, based on the same initial replacement speed as the full-text replacement process, by traversing the restoration positions of each target character in the text content, each target character in the text content can be successively restored to the key character until the full-text restoration process is completed.

[0068] It should also be noted that during the process of successively restoring each target character in the text content to the target character, a control interface can also be displayed on the system desktop of the computing device. The user can control the full-text restoration process based on the control interface. For example, the restoration speed can be adjusted by operating the adjustment control, and the restoration process can be paused by clicking the pause control. In addition, information such as the current restoration speed and the remaining restoration time can also be displayed on the control interface. Here, for the specific operation method, refer to the description of the full-text replacement process in the foregoing text, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] Figure 3 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of a text editor 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The text editor 300 resides in a computing device (such as the aforementioned computing device 100). As Figure 3 shown, the text editor 300 includes a full-text replacement device 350.

[0070] As Figure 3 shown, the full-text replacement device 350 includes a receiving unit 351, a searching unit 352, a determining unit 353, and a replacing unit 354 that are connected in sequence. Among them, the receiving unit 351 can receive a full-text replacement request (or full-text restoration request) for the key characters in the text file. The searching unit 352 traverses the text content in the text file to search for one or more key characters (or target characters) included in the text content. The determining unit 353 can determine the initial replacement speed according to the number of key characters included in the text content. The replacing unit 354 can, based on the initial replacement speed, successively replace each key character in the text content with the target character until the full-text replacement is completed. In addition, the replacing unit 354 can also, based on the initial replacement speed, successively restore each target character in the text content to the key character.

[0071] It should be noted that the receiving unit 351 is used to execute the foregoing step S210, the searching unit 352 is used to execute the foregoing step S220, the determining unit 353 is used to execute the foregoing step S230, and the replacing unit 354 is used to execute the foregoing step S240. Here, for the specific execution logic of the receiving unit 351, the searching unit 352, the determining unit 353, and the replacing unit 354, refer to the description of steps S210 to S240 in the foregoing method 200, which will not be elaborated here.

[0072] According to the full-text replacement solution of the present invention, when a user requests to perform full-text replacement on key characters, each key character in the text content is successively replaced with the target character, rather than all the key characters in the text content being replaced with the target character at once and uniformly. Based on this, for large text files, in the case where there are many key characters to be replaced in the text content, the successive replacement method can avoid occupying too much memory resources, thereby avoiding the problem of lag during the use of the text editor. In addition, the present invention determines the initial replacement speed according to the number of key characters to be replaced in the text content, and replaces the key characters in the text content based on the determined initial replacement speed. In this way, the replacement speed is reasonably controlled according to the number of key characters to be replaced, so as to avoid taking a long time in the case of a large number of key characters to be replaced, and ensure that the replacement efficiency is improved as much as possible without lagging.

[0073] In addition, the present invention displays a control interface during the replacement process. In this way, during the full-text replacement process, the user can adjust the replacement speed and pause the replacement process based on the control interface according to the actual situation and needs, so as to meet the user's needs as much as possible and improve the user experience.
