Can Emeditor Perform a search and replace only to the Selected Column

I was using Emeditor and trying to search and replace within a csv file but I was unable to figure out if there is a way to make the search and replace just work on a particular column. So if I wanted column 3 to be edited with a search for x and replace with y, it would not change x to y anywhere but that column.

I like how easy it is to make edits.

It is such a great program in any case, thanks to Emeditor. I can search and replace inside filtered results which I really liked after I figured it out.

Yes Emeditor does that. There is a button that toggles on and off "within selection only" and it works. Be careful that the selection of the column is also in place right before "change all"
