Find and Replace - projects and / or activities

Our users really like the template maintenance find / replace functionality. Is there a way to do something similar with Projects / Activities within those elements that are currently active projects? Thx

Thanks for giving us feedback on NPD template mantenance functionality. Unfortunately, we haven't got the similar functionality around projects/ activities. However, You can use temporary signature authority (TSA) in NPD to grant someone the privilege to act on your behalf for a period of time. This means that a designated user (authority grantee) can approve or disapprove signature requests and manage activity workflow on behalf of you (authority grantor). please refer to 'Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process New Product Development User Guide' for more details.
If this functionality can't meet your requirement, Please submit an enhancement request so we can notify you when this feature is available in future release. Thank you!

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?

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?
> Checking on google, I see lots of people having

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

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.

Find and Replace in RH HTML

After upgrading to RH8, all instances of "em dash" symbols in projects are now appearing incorrectly. When we insert the "em dash" symbol, we always eliminate any spaces before and after the symbol. All projects that have been upgraded to use RH8 now add a space after the symbol, which is incorrect.
I have also installed the RH updates and opened a project that had not been upgraded before the update installs...same problem.
Due to the size of the projects, I have tried using the Find and Replace feature within the HTML view; unfortunately, this did not work.
Has this issue been addressed with Adobe? I ran into a similar issue with the upgrade to RH7, where the HTML coding for em dashes would come through in the design view and final .chm output file. Does anyone know of a Find and Replace feature within RH that will allow me to remove every instance where a space appears after the em dash symbol? I have found the FAR tool but would like to avoid it if possible, as I have read it can corrupt RH files.

There was one other post recently about this but otherwise this problem had gone quiet so I don't know why you are seeing it in a project that was not opened before applying the patches.
So turning to FAR, it is not the program that corrupts files. It is what the user does with it. As we usually say, it can fix a project in minutes and wreck it in seconds. That is because the user has not thought about what the search might find. For example, you might search for "class" thinking about your topic content but of course FAR works a code level so it will remove all your style classes as well. That is where the corruption comes in, not the software itself. It's rather like blaming the car for the crash.
If you back up first, there is nothing to lose.

Find and replace by text and style

We have a fairly large RH HTML project (300+ topics so far)
most of which have a specific heading in Heading2 style. We want to
change all of these to a style based on Heading2, but not use the
Heading2 style b/c we don't want them to show up in the TOC. I have
created a new style and can obviously open every topic and manually
select and change each one - but I'm hoping that one of your RH
gurus will tell me an easier way. Is there anything comparable to
MS Words Find/Replace that will search the whole project for a
specific word in a specific style?

RoboHelp's Multi-File Find and Replace (in the Tools tab)
should be suitable for this job, and you can control each
occurrence as you choose. (Where this RH utility fails is when your
search string might sit on more than one line, which won't be the
case here.)
You'll run two replacement passes (spaces added to < &
> tags for proper viewing in this forum):
Replace < h2 > with < p class=YourNewStyle >
Replace < /h2 > with < /p >
The < h2 > and < /h2 > strings will never be
split between lines, so RH will catch every one.
BTW, Add me to the list of FAR boosters; it'll let you change
case, change file names, etc., etc., etc. Great tool!
Good luck,
Leon

VBA Word Find and Replace characters but excluding certain characters

I am trying to write VBA code in Word that I will eventually run from a VBA Excel module. The aim of the project is to find specific strings in the open Word document that have length of either one or two characters and are of a certain format, and replace
them with other strings in the same format. This is to do with transposing (i.e. changing the musical key) of chord symbols in a songsheet in Word. The Find and Replace strings are contained in ranges in an Excel workbook, which is why I want to eventually
run the code from Excel. I'm much more experienced in writing VBA code in Excel than in Word, and I'm fairly confident with transferring the 'Word VBA' code into an Excel module.
At the moment I'm trying out code entirely in Word, and I've come across a stumbling block. For example, I want it to Find "A" and replace with "B",
BUT only if the "A" is NOT followed by "#" (sharp) or "b" (flat).
Here is the code I've got in Word VBA, which I obtained by editing code produced by the recorder:
Sub F_R()
'Find text must have specific font
With Selection.Find.Font
.Bold = True
.Underline = wdUnderlineWords
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
End With
'Replacement text must have specific font
With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font
.Bold = True
.Underline = wdUnderlineWords
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
End With
'Find & Replace strings
With Selection.Find
.Text = "A" 'hard-coded here for testing, but this will
'eventually be referenced to a cell in Excel
.Replacement.Text = "B" 'hard-coded here for testing, but this will
'eventually be referenced to a cell in Excel
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = True
.MatchWholeWord = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
For the Find & Replace section I want to do something like:
With Selection.Find
.Text = "A"
.Text <> "A#"
.Text <> "Ab"
.Replacement.Text = "B"
End With
- but this produces a syntax error, presumably because you can have only one .Text line (or it won't accept <>?)
I tried adopting the way of excluding chars when using the Like operator, and while it compiles, it will not replace
any "A":
With Selection.Find
.Text = "A[!b#]"
.Replacement.Text = "B"
End With
I suspect that I'm going to have to change tack completely in the way I'm doing this. Do you have any suggestions, please?
The chord names/symbols are preceded/succeeded by either spaces or paragraph returns and can look like these, for example (all Font Bold and Underlined words only):
C<sup>7</sup>
Dm<sup>7</sup>
Eb<sup>-5</sup>
Bb<sup>+11</sup>
F#m<sup>7</sup>
i.e. [ABCDEFG][b # | optional][m |optional][- + | superscript, optional][2 3
5 6 7 9 11 13 | superscript, optional]
The crux of my problem is that the note A should be treated as entirely distinct from Ab or A# (and similar for other flattened/sharpened notes).
Sorry for long post.

Find and replace in files does not refresh when changes are made

Using RH10, I search for a term with the Find and Replace Options pod. I use the Find Results list as a reference only, and open each file from the Topic List. I do this instead of opening the topics from the Find Results tab because I want to see the WYSIWYG changes. Anyway, I make my edits and delete the search term from each topic. Then, to make sure I have done all the work, I run the search again. I expect to see no or at least fewer matches than before, but I still get some or all of the same results as before, even though I double-check the Design and HTML views of the topics and even check the source of a topic separately in Notepad, all indicating that the search term is gone from the topic.
There is some ridiculous lingering or echo going on. I make sure to select Look in: <Current Project>, and the paths of all the Find Results files are fine. How do you refresh the search so that this echo doesn't occur?
Also, I close the Find and Replace Options pod, reopen it and start the search again, and the same results are there.
Message was edited by: DMilkes

Hi there
To avoid the message about the file being modified, close all topics in the editor before commencing with any find and replace operations. The message is produced because you have the aforementioned topics open in the editor.
As you mention "Find and replace in files", I'm guessing you are referring to version 8. I just opened version 8 and performed a find and replace to confirm. There is a button allowing you to clear all.
On the clicking and dragging to create a link, it's never worked that way. You simply cannot drag from the Topic List pod to do it. But you can from the Project Manager pod. Perhaps you should consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the ability to click and drag from the Topic List pod to create links.
As far as rearranging your topics into different folders, as long as you do it from inside RoboHelp you shouldn't be destroying any links. RoboHelp will update references for you as you move things around. The only issue is if you are automatically creating your TOC structure based on the project structure. But usually that's a one time shot. From there forward you just manage things using the TOC editor.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

How can I perform a find and replace against all embedded links?

Hi -
We have a project which links to another project. The URL for the linked to project has changed, and now all hyperlinks fail when clicked.
Yes - I can edit each and every link, but the person who set this up has literally hundreds of links in this project which now need to be changed. Please save my sanity and tell me there is a way to update all links programatically (replace infomoto.mot.com/robo/projects/iccs-bcs with infomoto.mot.com/iccs) in all places it is referenced.
Thanks much,
Anahid

In theory you can use the built in Multi File Find and Replace as the string should be on one line. Personally I would use FAR from http://www.helpware.net/FAR and search using Start With / End With and Must Contain to ensure the string will be found even if it is split over two lines. You could also use BKReplaceEm which is free.
Backup up your project before you start. Tools like this can fix issues in seconds, they can also wreck your project in seconds.

Enabling tabbing to controls on DW CS 4 Mac in Find and Replace

I have used Dreamweaver on Windows for many years. I'm now working on the Mac.
I have configured OS X Leopard for improved keyboard access to UI controls. This allows me to tab to dropdown (or popup) menu and use the keyboard to quickly select menu items. I realize this is a personal preference but personally I'm more productive this way. This setting affects the OS and appears to work in many applications. It doesn't appear to work in Dreamweaver CS4.
I work on one PHP project that has hundreds of files. I routinely need to use Find and Replace to search in "Selected Files in Site" but often need to only search in "Current Document", so I'm routinely switching between these options. I'm also routinely toggle the "Use regular expression" option. On Windows I could change these settings without having to use the mouse. I could quickly tab (or shift-tab) from the "Find:" and "Replace:" text boxes to the "Find In:" and "Search:" Dropdown Menus or the various "Options:" checkboxes, but find that one the Mac I have to use the mouse to change the dropdowns and checkboxes.
Have I missed a Dreamweaver setting or a magic keyboard shortcut that would enable full keyboard access to DW's Find and Replace and other Dialogs?

Yep.

How to find and replace any string between " "

Hi everyone,
Here my sample
String szTest;
szTest = "Yellow banana";
szTest = "Blue monkey";
szTest = "Red mango";
szTest is only needed when it's in testing progress. Now I want to put all of that in the /*comment*/ so the released program won't run those code any more (but still keep szTest so I can use it for future develop testing).
So Here what I want after using the Find and Replace Box:
//String szTest; //Manual
/*szTest = "Yellow banana";*/ //use find and replace
/*szTest = "Blue monkey";*/ //use find and replace
/*szTest = "Red mango";*/ //use find and replace
I think I can do this with Regular expressions or Wildcards. But I don't know how to find and replace any string between " and ".
Find: szTest = " ??Any string?? ";
Replace with: /*szTest = " ??Any string?? ";*/
Thanks for reading.

Hi Nathan.j.Smith,
Based on your issue, I suggest you can try the Joel's suggestion check your issue again. In addition, I find a MSDN document about how to use the Regex.Replace Method to match a regular expression pattern with a specified replacement string,
maybe you will get some useful message.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xwewhkd1(v=vs.110).aspx
If the above suggestion still could not provide you, could you please tell me what language you use to create the program for finding and replace any string using regular expression so that we will find the correct programming develop forum to support this
issue?

Is design view missing from RoboHelp's new Find and Replace editor?

I just started using RoboHelp 10 and was excited about the new Find and Replace feature. However, it seems to force the user to edit in the HTML editor (which is very difficult when the topic has tables). Am I missing some preference setting?
The only workaround seems to be to to find a topic and then track it down in the Project Manager list and open it in the normal fashion.
Thanks.
Carol

Find and Replace in Files (as opposed to a single topic) has always been at HTML level.
If you do use this updated feature, do not use the Contains field unless you want to kiss your project goodbye. See Using Rh10 on my site.

Find and Replace across multiple topics

I haven't used RoboHTML in a few years and am getting back to using it again. this is a fairly simple question, but the Help for RoboHelp doesn't seem to provide an answer.
How do you do a simple find and replace across multiple topics? I want to search for a text string and replace it with another text string.

Hi,
Have you tried to use the "Multiple File Find and Replace" option present in RoboHelp. You may access this option from Edit->Find and Replace in Files.
Before trying to find the files, please ensure that the where field in the dialog points to the correct location of your project.
Thanks

Find and replace smart quotes with straight quotes?

I understand I can turn off smart quotes so that I can type straight quotes, but I need to replace hundreds of curly smart quotes with straight quotes, is there a feature that will let me do this? I am using FM8.
Thanx,
Willian

I am using FM9....so I don't know if the same shortcuts apply, but this is what I found out last week.
Use the Find and Replace tool:
With smart quotes turned off and the Num Lock key turned on:
Alt0147 will give you beginning quotation marks
Alt0148 will give you ending quotation marks
In the Find box use ALT0147 or ALT0148 for the beginning or ending quotes. When you click in the box and type
one of the shortcuts the correct quote will be shown in the box.
In the replace box type the regular straight quotes on your keyboard.
I was thrilled that it would work!...course you do have to do them separately and be careful not to replace the curly quotes
that you want to leave in your document.
Hope this helps using FM8....

How do I find and replace text in PHP files?

How can I in CS3 make sitewide changes to the text in PHP pages without changing variable names etc that have the same name?
For example if I have an installation of a PHP forum and I want to change every instance of the word 'forum' to 'message board'...
If I used the 'inside tag' search with " as the tag, then if "" contained a variable called 'forum' it would also be changed and therefore corrupt the code....
Is there a simple way around this?
Thanks!
I'm using CS3 on Windows Vista.

It looks like you're trying to find and replace source code, so you may be able to look at the various places that are looked at when finding and uncheck the ones that don't apply.
But, if it's all source code then that won't help. One thing that may work is to expand the search option - for example if the work "forum" that you're wanting to change it preceded by another word, or character or something that sets it apart, then do you find on that. You can expand that search phrase as far out in either direction that you need to to make it different, if of course that is practical in your situation.
The only other way I can think of is to somehow create an exception rule, but I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.

Find and replace in RTF Template

Hi,
I'm using a if statement in my template, but i need to change a value within this statement. It's being used multiple times, therefor it would be easier to do a find and replace, is there a way to do a find and replace within the RTF template? Already openede it in Notepad++, but no luck
Osman

I don't think there is a way to find and replace all.. You can view all the code by using Field Browser -> Show All and then replace the code and update one by one from there..

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.
