EditReplaceMenuItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){//action listener for "replace" menu item in edit menu
publicvoid actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
String replace = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Replace:");//find word to replace
String with = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"With:");//get word to replace with
int index = jtp.getSelectedIndex();//get selected tab index
JTextArea textArea = textAreas.get(index);//get textarea coreesponding to tab
String text = textArea.getText();//get text from that textarea
//replace code
int startIndex = 0;
Scanner scan =new Scanner(text);
while(scan.hasNext())
{
String current = scan.next();
if(current.equals(replace))
{
int start = text.indexOf(replace, startIndex);
