Show number of replacements performed

After performing a Find&Replace operation with "Replace All", I'd love to see a pop-up box with information on how many replacements were made.

MS Word does this, and it would be very helpful to have this info in Studio too.

Microsoft Word information pop-up showing 'All done. We made 15 replacements.' with an OK button.

I mentioned this idea 4 years ago on another SDL community forum and it was logged as Enhancement report LTE-296. Unfortunately, the enhancement hasn't been implemented, so I'm adding it as an idea here.

    Alison, any person who has already programmed, even in VBA, knows that implementing a counter is easy. It is just adding a numeric variable and an instruction to increment it at each execution of the loop that browse the texte and performs the replacements, then adding a message box with the result. It would not take more than a couple of hours, including testing.
