Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries

Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
1) comes completely blank
2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...

Which FTP app did your predecessor use to upload files? If it's still on your work station, it should contain the log-in credentials.

Find and replace crashes Dreamweaver 5.5

When trying to use find and replace dreamweaver always crashes. I've tried clearing the cache from instructions of this link and it didn't work. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
Please help!

Does the issue occured after you made any H/w or S/w changes on your MAC(may be after upgrading your OS)?
If so, have you tried restoring dreamweaver's preferences? Follow the link below.

Make sure you backup all your current preferences if you need them again.

Dreamweaver CS6 "Find and Replace" not working

Since I've started working in DW CS6 I've noticed that the Find and Replace feature isn't working completely.
E.g. If I select a block of code, then open Find and Replace, tell it to find " " and replace it with "</li>" it only replaces the first instance. The rest of the 's are still 's.
Is this happening to anyone else? I may have to switch back to CS5.

** ANSWER/Workaround
Change the selection in the 'Search:' dropdown from the default 'Source:' to 'Text' or 'Text (Advanced)' and you will get the desired result.
bracdiver, your post may be useful in some examples, like the ones I posted above. However, this does not work in my intended example below (which is source code specific), where the actual source code needs to be replaced:
Sample
 These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.
<ol>
 <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen</li>
 <li>35% of people are going to school.</li>
 <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series.</li>
 <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables"</li>
 <li>There is no blank under this question. Answer beside this question instead.</li>
</ol>
Using these options
Find in: Selected Text (first four list items)
Search: Source code:
Find: </li>
Replace: ___________________</li>
Options enabled: Match case
Desired output:
These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.
<ol>
 <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen ___________________</li>
 <li>35% of people are going to school. ___________________</li>
 <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series. ___________________</li>
 <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables" ___________________</li>
 <li>There is no blank under this question. Answer beside this question instead.</li>
</ol>
CS6 DW output:
These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.
<ol>
 <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen ___________________</li>
 <li>35% of people are going to school.</li>
 <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series.</li>
 <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables"</li>
 <li>There is no blank under this question. Answer beside this question instead.</li>
</ol>
Using your workaround (with 'Inside Tag' option set to li), this will not work as does not change any text at all.

Dreamweaver CC generates one of 3 error messages when using find and replace on Win 8.1 64 bit.

Dreamweaver CC generates one of 3 error messages when using find and replace is used more than twice in succession. "While executing onLoad in bc_afterSave.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: At line 188 of file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe|Adobe DreamweaverCC|Configuration|Shared|BC\JS\bc_sites.js": out of memory"
or
While executing runCommand in File_Save.htm, a JavaScript erroroccurred.
or
While exciting getDynamicContent inAdressURL.htm, a Javascript erroroccirred.
Any thoughts - I end up closing DWCC and reopening. Will work for two additional Find and Replace before the error messaged\s popup again.

Thanks Jon. I tried all of those solutions before posting. Same problem. It seems that the problem is tied to DWCC. Do not have the problem when using DW6 on Win8.1. When running DWCC on a Win7 pc, we get the same error message. When running DW6 on Win 7, f&c works fine. It seems to be a bug in DWCC. DWCC works flawlessly on our Macs.
The same steps apply to DWCC, you just need to choose the CC folders rather than the DWCS4-6 versions that the page talks about. The layout of CC's folders hasn't changed from the older versions which is why, I think, Adobe hasn't updated the troubleshooting page as of yet.
As Nancy mentions, a 38,500 page site is sort of ridiculously large for a static website, that could be part of the problem, but your response quoted above leads me to think you may have tried the troubleshooting steps in the wrong version of the program. Could you confirm that?

Use VBA and Excel to open Dreamweaver HTML (CS5), find and replace text, save and close

I wish to use VBA and Excel to programmatically open numbered Dreamweaver HTML (CS5) and find and replace text in the code view of these files, save and close them.
I have 5000 associations between Find: x0001 and Replace: y0001 in an Excel sheet.
I have the VBA written but do not know how to open, close and save the code view of the ####.html files. Please ... and thank you...

This is actually the code view of file ####.html that I wish to find and replace programmatically where #### is a four digit number cataloguing each painting.... In 1995 I thought this was clever... maybe not so clever now :>)) Thank you for whatever you can do Rob!

XML tag markers moved: Find and Replace causing problem in xml elements

Hi All,
I am doing find and replace using GREP. While using the expression like $1, $2 (Found Items) in the change to field it changes the placement of tag marker. If the found item is a part of two of more xml elements, I am getting a serious problem while replacing it. (ie. The xml tag markers are moved.)
See the screen shot below, then you may get better idea. And help me to overcome this issue.
This is just an example to show you what i'm trying to say, there are so many cases like this.
Original text/ Before doing find replace
After replacing
Green4ever

Hi Peter and John,
but it seems to me that the example is looking for any space that
follows a semi-colon and has two word characters following it, and
repalce that with an em space. I think you could do the same using look
behind and look ahead and not need to replace the found text.
Yes you are right about the look behind and look ahead. I'd like to show some more examples to show what the actual problem is,
Original/Before Replacing,
(Consider there is another case here, instead of em-space some times normal word space will also be there)
Using the Grep:
Find What---------> ^(\d+\.(?:\d+)?)~m
Change To------------->$1\t
After Replace:
Did I make any sense? Eventhough this will not make any changes in the layout, my requirement is to insert the tab out-side the tag marker not indise.

Dumb Q: problem with Find And Replace window in Flash 8

Dear Flash Group,
apologies if this is trivial, it's my first day using Flash.
I downloaded a Flash project from
http://www.flashorb.com/articles/benchmark_files/flash-benchmark.zip.
This
flash calls into a web service at localhost:8080. I used the
'Find and
Replace' window within Flash Professional 8 to locate the
string
'localhost:8080' and replaced it with plain 'localhost'.
However, when I 'Debug the Movie' (Ctrl-Shift-Enter), it
still tries to
access port 8080! Obsiously, my replace command did not do
what I thought it
would do. I opened the FLA file in a binary editor, and saw 4
more
references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties' of a
WebServicesConnector,
but I cannot figure out how to find the other occurences.
Checking on google, I see lots of people having similar
problems, but no
solutions
Any ideas?
Regards, /george
PS. What do you guys do for code completion - is there a tool
that would
bring Flash on par with an professional IDE?

george,

Agreed.

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?
> Checking on google, I see lots of people having
> similar problems, but no solutions
That's really odd, actually. I'm on these boards every day,
and I've
never heard of this issue. I don't *think* the Find/Replace
dialog visits
panel contents, such as the Component Inspector panel, but I
wouldn't swear
to that.
> What do you guys do for code completion - is there
> a tool that would bring Flash on par with an
professional IDE?
Well, Flash is a professional IDE, of course. By definition,
if you pay
for something, you have acquired a professional product or
service. I know
what you mean, though. Flash itself rocks, but the Actions
panel can be
glaringly weak. Personally, I use SE|PY to edit ActionScript.

How to edit the find-and-replace dialog in Dreamweaver 8

For over 13 years I have been a happy user of Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. And I still see no reason to use any other program for editting PHP.
However, 1 thing has been bugging me for years. In the find-and-replace dialog there is a select "Find in". The options are in a dropdown.
I want this select to be a multiselector (not in functionality, but just so I don't need to click to get the dropdown, but just one click to select).
I read in the help at 'Customizing the appearance of dialog boxes' at point 4
On your disk, find the appropriate HTM file in the Configuration/Objects, Configuration/ Commands, or Configuration/Behaviors folder.
I've been searching but can not find the code for that dialog, althou it should be easy. Also did a search for that 'save' image, because once I find that, I can find this form, but its not in the macromedia folder.
how to edit the find-and-replace dialog in Dreamweaver 8?

It's looks less like an image and more like a form drop list to me.
Yes its a dropdown list. But to find the code for that select I tried to find the htm file that code is on by searching for the save-image which is also on that page (next to the yellow folder). I did a search on all folders in c:/programfiles/macromedia and that image is not in there. If I could find the image name, I could search the code for that and should find that htm (or javascript) which is outputting it, then the select must be near to that.
I also searched the code for the various texts on the page and got many hits, but not from the dialog page. I can't search dll files, so maybe thats where that code is in.

Reformatting files in Dreamweaver: Batch series of .dwr files (find and replace) consecutively

I have to do complicated reformatting of an entire site. It's been simplified to a series of find and replace tasks for each file. Each find and replace string has been saved as a .dwr file. Currently I have to load and execute each .dwr file.
How do you batch process or automate this task in Dreamweaver? In other words, queue up a series of .dwr files to be executed consecutively?

OK here we go.
This example, a simple Dreamweaver Command Extension, will execute two Find and Replace commands in one go. (It can be any number of Find and Replace commands.)
The first command replaces "the" and "this" with "phe" and "phis". The second command replaces <ul> ... </ul> with <ol> ... </ol>. (These of course can be any Find and Replace.)
You need two files: a HTML file (for the UI) and a Javascript file (for actions). I named them "Find and Replace Test.html" and "Find and Replace Test.js". (They can be any name.)
Find and Replace Test.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "-//Adobe//DWExtension layout-engine 10.0//dialog">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<Title>Find and Replace Test</Title>
<script src="Find and Replace Test.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form>
 Are you sure?
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Find and Replace Test.js
function canAcceptCommand() {
 return true;
function commandButtons() {
 return new Array("Go!", "doIt()", "Cancel", "window.close()");
function doIt() {
 dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
 searchString: "th(e|is)",
 replaceString: "ph$1",
 searchWhat: "document",
 searchSource: true,
 useRegularExpressions: true
 dreamweaver.replaceAll();
 dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
 searchString: "<(/?)ul>",
 replaceString: "<$1ol>",
 searchWhat: "document",
 searchSource: true,
 useRegularExpressions: true
 dreamweaver.replaceAll();
 window.close();
Basically you can call any number of this pair of functions in the script:
dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace(findAndReplaceObject);
dreamweaver.replaceAll();
Place these HTML and JS files in this directory:
Dreamweaver App Directory/Configuration/Commands/
Then in Dreamweaver, open "Insert" window. (You need to have a HTML file open in order to make the Insert window active.) At the top of the Insert window there's a category dropdown menu ("Common" etc.). Do alt + click (ctrl + click) - then you'll see an item "Reload Extenesions" at the bottom of the dropdown. This will load this extension to DW. (Alternatively you can restart DW to load the extension.)
Now it's ready to run the Extension. Open a HTML document you want to modify. Go to "Commands" on the menu bar. At the bottom of the dropdown there should be an item "Find and Replace Test". Select and enjoy
Notes
This example is set to perform the Find and Replace on the current document. You can change the scope to the entire site, or the selected files, etc, just like in the Find and Replace dialogue box. The API doc is here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed a.html
You can use dreamweaver.setUpComplexFindReplace(xmlQueryString) command instead. xmlQueryString is basically <dwquery> ... </dwquery> in your .dwr files, you can copy from your .dwr files. However xmlQueryString needs to be one continuous string (no line breaks), which can be a pain The doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed 9.html
Command Extension general example in the doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d6ec3-7fe 6.html

Mr David Powers thank you for your quick,
sorry to say but
the link did not work for me.
i am so ashamed to use a program that crashes while doing a simple "search and replace" action! which i had paid more than 900$.
and also it is so interesting that adobe has released new version CS4 instead of updating the buggy CS3. so the ppl who bought CS3 are dumped!
here i attach the crash error dump file that Dreamweaver creates in its configuration directory.
http://rapidshare.com/files/230314270/Dreamweaver_crash_log.mdmp
i hope it helps to diagnose and SEARCH and REPLACE the BUG.

Win7, DW CS6, Find and Replace, Problem: The "Done or Found" message is cut off based on your SEARCH dropdown choice.

The Find and Replace "Done or Found" message is partially cut off for "Search" dropdown choices "Source Code, Text, Text (Advanced), but not for "Specific Tag". It appears to be a programming bug sizing the "Find" and "Replace" text boxes too big for the "find and Replace" window. Has anyone else encountered this problem.

Excuse me for resurrecting this, but I have been living with this same issue, and many more issues (I won't list them here), since migrating to CS5 (understood this thread is for CS6. However, my post is relevant none the less). If anyone has the fix I would love to know what they found. But sadly, I doubt there is one.
My system and display settings are also Win7 at 100% display. When doing a Find and Replace I can barely see what the results are for how many occurrences in the find window because the bottom is cutting off half of the text, just like the OP screen shot above. If the results reads "Done. 2 items found" it can easily be mistaken for "Done. 3 items found" if I don't study it carefully because of the bottom half of the "2" is cut off.
I don't want to rant here, but I will a little which I'll confess is the real purpose of my post. I am so disappointed in Adobe for so many different bugs in their software suite which they choose not to address, or even acknowledge as existing. I've had their tech support on the phone while they were recording my screen as I recreated issues for them, they never got back to me on any of them. I just got lip service how their engineers are looking into it and they'll get back to me. This of course was when CS5 still had free support under warranty.
At this point I'm numb to it all and I'm stuck using their software because I'm used to it, which ultimately is their goal anyway I'm sure. You win Adobe.
BTW...if anyone replies, please do not suggest the basic troubleshooting steps. All of the issues I've had exists after multiple re-installs on formatted hard drives and on both of my PCs made by two different manufacturers with different hardware specs (both exceeded min hardware requirements). Not to mention been through various techniques while on the phone with them..
Ahh... I feel better now.

How to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, a

how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

Easiest way to do it is the following:
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
- Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
- Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
- Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
- Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
- Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
- Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
- Select the edited XML file and import it.
- Done!

Dreamweaver CS5 out of memory when trying to find and replace

Please help. I am running Dreamweaver CS5 on a windows 7 os. This has happened in previous versions as well. This is a new computer and a new install. There are no memory shortages on this machine.
I go to search for something, and select either folder or files in current site. It starts, then flashes the "out of memory" dialog box and stops the search. I have to force quit to leave the program.Over and over. Find and replace of a site or folder is a crucial function I use this program for!
Thanks for any help
S

How big are the combined files in your Local Site folder?
My guess is that you have something really colossal such as server log files or something else that are causing DW to choke and freeze during its Find / Replace scan.
If you can identify the really huge files/folders in your site folder, you could use 'cloaking' to exclude them from DW operations.
