Is there a "search and replace" feature on IWeb?
After building my entire site from scratch, I have learned many, many things that will help it load faster, etc.
This will involve redesigning buttons, and taking some photos and manipulating them in Photoshop (rather than adding borders in IWeb, etc.), etc.
As I have several pages that include the same items, is there a way that I can find all of the same pictures and replace them with my new edited version with a "search and replace" type of function? Or do I have to go to each page, and delete the old and add the new?
Thanks for all the help -
Kim

You'll have to copy an paste the new items in each page.
I suppose you could name the new item the same as the old and replace it in the individual page folder. I think that would save you from having to edit any html pages. But if you're going to make other edits to the page which require you to open it in iWeb you might as well replace it that way. It will have to be the same pixel size as the previous file was.
I did a file replacement for the last three tutorials button in my Old Toad's Tutorials site. Worked like a charm until I next publish.
*HOWEVER, if you republish the site or page the files will be replaced with the originals. So unless you're not going to change it again you'll have to do the change in iWeb so they will remain changed.*
Just changed that page from within iWeb so the demo of the process is not available any more.

Is there any "Search and Replace" option in Crystal Reports?
Is there any option to search and replace in Crystal Reports. Since i am using a name in many of the formulas in crystal reports. I need to replace with the desired name on the go.
Could anyone help me on this....Search & Replace across formulas is not available in CR XI but is available in CR 2008. Here is an excerpt from the CR 2008 Users Guide:
Searching for formula text
You can use the Find dialog box to carry out a number of different activities:
u2022 Search for text or characters in the Field, Function, or Operator trees.
u2022 Search for text or characters that you want to mark or replace in the
formula, Custom Function, or SQL Expression that you have open.
u2022 Search for text or characters across all SQL Expressions in a report.
u2022 Search for text or characters across all formulas and Custom Functions
in a report.
When you search for text across all formulas, the results appear in a pane
at the bottom of the Formula Workshop. (You can dock the results pane in
other locations). When you click an item in the results pane, Crystal Reports
opens the appropriate formula and highlights the matching text.
Tip: You can open the Formula Workshop to search across all formulas
from the Field Explorer and from the body of a report. To do this, select a
formula field, right-click it, and choose the "Find in Formulas" option. -
Xml search and replace for 'Session Variables' in column title view
Hi Experts,
I have around 10 reports where measure column titles are displayed based the session variable.
Below is the syntax I have used in the column title
@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']}
Now I would like to replace the above syntax with some static text. To do this, I am trying to use the xml search and replace feature in the catalog manager.
For some reason, catalog manager is unable to find the syntax in the xml file. I have tried using escape character also for the apostrophe by using &apos, but no luck.
Any pointers on how to replace the text?
ThanksUsing Analysis get the xml conversion for @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} from Advanced tab's xml code
use this code to find in catalog manager, if you able to find then go for search and replace option.
I think this should work for you. -
Search and Replace... tried everything, no luck, think it's quite simple!
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to do some editing on many many html files. As it wouldn't be realistic in the slightest to do it manually I'm trying to use the search and replace feature in DW, but it's proving quite difficult. I've looked at everything available on this forum and others with no luck.
So I'm trying to replace a huge block of code, but as the code is different in all the files I have to use the wildcard. So I match up the code at the front and the block which is the same in all the files I'm trying to change and insert [^"]*. For example, if I wanted to change the meta content I search for:
<meta name="description" content="[^"]*" />
It doesn't find it.
The other blocks of code are much bigger and it's the same story. If I copy the code in which I am looking to replace (without the wild card) and search it doesn't find it, but if I click off 'use regular expression' it does find it, so this leads me to believe that it may be something to do with the special characters that is in the code that I am trying to replace, but I am unsure how to go about excluding these..
Any help much appreciated,
BrianI'm the very first to admit that I STINK at Reg Ex. It's a totally foreign language to me.
Whenever possible, I use the Search Tag with Attributes feature.
So let's say you need to find all meta tags that contain attribute "name" & the content is different in each one.
Find In: Current document (to test)
Search: Specific Tag meta
With Attribute name = [any value]
Action: Set Attribute content to: type your new values here....
Replace All.
Hope this helps.

In order to view my documents on my newly purchased Macbook Air I recently had to upgrade my 27" iMac to Numbers 3.2. The new version does fine for what I use it for except the new "find and replace" feature...It is TERRIBLE! It is so much slower than the older version. Plus I loved how the older version showed a table of all the matching word or items you're searching for and you could easily scroll through them to find the one that you were searching for.
My question is: Can you change the Find and Replace feature back to the way it used to be in version 2.3 or Number '09? If so, please show me how. I would really appreciate it.
The image below shows the new version on the left and the old version on the right just in case you don't know what I'm talking about...
Thank you.Hi The.Gav,
Sad to say, but that feature has gone in Numbers 3.2
This discussion may help (or not)
Numbers - How use Find like the previous version?

In 8.2, the only thing the project has to let you search for a vi is "Find vi's on disk", which is redundant since I can do that in windows explorer. What I want is a way to search for vi's in my application the way the search and replace function works, except I want it to apply to all vi's in a project instead of just the vi's currently loaded in memory. Do we have this in 8.5?
-Devin
I got 99 problems but 8.6 ain't one.I'll give an example of what I was trying to do yesterday in 8.2. I tried to build a source distribution of a large instrument driver. Since its an instrument driver there is no single top-level vi that contains all vi's - there are different categories of vi's to do different functions on my instrument. When I'm doing the source distribution I have to do it in several stages since 8.2 doesn't do source distributions right - but thats not really what this post is about. Anyway, every time I do the distribution I get an error saying CnvrtArrayIntoBitPattern.vi is password protected (and another engineer wrote it and I don't have the password). So the build fails. Now I don't know the password, I'll find it out later, but I at least want to know where in the hierarchy this vi is even being called. I don't know where it is on disk, I don't know what is calling it, it isn't in the project explicitly, it's a dependency.
If I had a top-level vi that loaded everything, I could just do a search and replace on that vi and find exactly where it is being called in seconds. But since I am in a project and have no idea where to start looking, there is no way I can find this vi. Ideally, in 8.5 there would be a search and replace menu option that searches all vi's in a project to find any calls to this vi. I want to look for all instances of a vi in my project. It sounds like you still can't really do that in 8.5.
What I ended up doing is writing a vi that opens all vi's in a folder hierarchy on disk. I don't know where this vi is, but all vi's in my project are in the same root folder. So I run my program to open every single project vi. Then since I know every single vi is open and loaded simultaneously I used the search and replace function on one of them to find all instances of CnvrtArrayIntoBitPattern.vi. But that is a painstaking process to create a simple search function.
I think NI is maybe misunderstanding how people are actually using a project. Not every vi that is being called is going to be explicitly listed in the project. (Its this same issue that makes source distributions impossible in 8.2 - you can't target dependencies to a support library so every dependency has to be explicitly listed in the project - which is virtually impossible because they are all in different locations and there are hundreds.) Most people have lots of general purpose vi's they use in many different projects, and they are buried down in code so we aren't even sure where they are all being used. The new searches you mention assume you already know where the low-level function is and you are looking for their callers. But sometimes you don't even know where the low level function is. What if its an NI directory function? For example, "resample waveform.vi" is an NI function that changed its defaults in 8.2 which meant we had to find every single place we used it and wire "open-interval?" to a constant instead of depending on the default value. Its in an NI library somewhere and is never listed as a project vi. So when I needed to find every place through every project that I used this vi, I couldn't do it through the project manager because there is no search function. To be practical I add the project-specific vi's to the project, and maybe a couple support directories, but there will always be lots of vi's as dependencies. But every now and then I'm still going to want to search for one of these vi's. So in 8.5 there is there still no way to search for vi's that aren't explicitly listed in the project?

How do I search and replace for invisibles in Pages 5.5.2?
Three related problems all involving search and replace for invisibles.
1. A block of text where all double returns need to become single returns.
2. A block of text where all returns need to be replaced with a single word space.
3. A block of text where all double word spaces to be replaced with a single word space.
Pages 09 could do all three this handily. How can these be done in Pages 5.5.2?
Appreciated.Here are screenshot of my attempts to make reducing double returns to one. First up selection of a double return:
Copy to the clipboard. Do a Command-F. Here's the resulting dialogue:
I paste in the contents of the clipboard:
Note the Search field no longer has an empty slot selected. Something is clearly in there, but no instance of whatever is has been found. Nevertheless, I proceed to set up the Replace field by selecting a single return:
Copy that to the clipboard and paste into the Replace field:

How do I search and replace in comments in Acrobat XI?
I use a Mac and just downloaded Acrobat Pro XI specifically to search and replace phrases in comments in a large PDF. According to this Adobe Help page, I should be able to do this: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/searching-pdfs.html I copied the relevant section below and marked with ***. However, I don't see I don't see an arrow for the options that would allow me to include comments. I understand how to include the comments with advanced search, but I want to also replace text. I also checked in preferences and searched the forums. Could someone please advise and maybe include a screenshot, if possible. Thanks!
Choose Edit > Find (Ctrl/Command+F).
Type the text you want to search for in the text box on the Find toolbar.
To replace text, click Replace With to expand the toolbar, then type the replacement text in theReplace With text box.
(Optional) Click ***the arrow ***next to the text box and choose one or more of the following:
Whole Words Only
Finds only occurrences of the complete word you type in the text box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky aren’t found.
Case-Sensitive
Finds only occurrences of the words that match the capitalization you type. For example, if you search for the word Web, the words web and WEB aren’t found.
Include Bookmarks
Also searches the text in the Bookmarks panel.
***Include Comments***
Also searches the text of any comments.Here are screenshot of my attempts to make reducing double returns to one. First up selection of a double return:

Search and Replace in Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver CS3has a nice search and replace tool allowing for search and replacement of very large text strings.
Does anyone know of a good notepad editor that can handle that large of replace text strings.
Seems like most cant handle that much code in terms of search and replace.
thanksIf you're looking for something free/cheap that handles multi-line search and replace in source code, then there's always TextWranger if you're on a Mac:
http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/
There are plenty of Windows equivalents, but none I've used extensively and could recommend. This one is free:
http://www.htmlkit.com/
...and has a button to expand the find/replace fields for multi-line content.
That being said, they're not really going to do anything DW can't if you're already using DW. -
Search and replace strings in a file while ignoring substrings
Hi:
I have a java program that searches and replaces strings in a file. It makes a new copy of the file, searches for a string in the copy, replaces the string and renames the new copy to the original file, thereafter deleting the copy.
Now searching for "abcd", for eg works fine, but searching for "Topabcd" and replacing it doesnot work because there is a match for "abcd" in a different search scenario. How can I modify the code such that if "abcd" is already searched and replaced then it should not be searched for again or rather search for "abcd" as entire string and not if its a substring of another string.
In the below code output, all instances of "abcd" and the ones of "Topabcd" are replaced by ABCDEFG and TopABCDEF respectively, whereas according to the desired output, "abcd" should be replaced by ABCDEFG and "Topabcd" should be replaced by REPLACEMEFIRST.
try
String find_productstring = "abcd";
String replacement_productstring = "ABCDEFG";
compsXml = new FileReader(compsLoc);

Bug in Multi-File Search and Replace in RH6?
I'm using the 6.0 trial, and one thing I want to be able to
do is to replace the variables I put in using JavaScript with the
new feature variables in 6.0. So, I went in to multi-file search
and replace, and searched for:
<script
language=JavaScript>document.write(varProduct)</script>
I copied this code directly from a topic, and pasted it into
the Search tool.
I don't even care whether I can successfully copy the code
from my new variable for use as the replacement text; I'd be happy
if the multi-file search would simply find all occurrences of my
original code so I don't miss any during conversion to 6.0.
It keeps coming up as not found, and this concerns me
greatly. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known bug? Does
anyone have a workaround?
Thanks!Hi robowriter
I'm assuming you are using the wondrous little applet known
as Multi-File Find and Replace.
Unfortunately, this little beastie is like a cat. It
frequently has a fussy tummy and loves to hork up furballs. Well,
not exactly. Really what it does is fail to properly handle
anything with a line break. So you need a tool that does do this.
Fortunately, one exists! It is called FAR (Find And Replace). Oddly
enough, it was also written by a fellow Microsoft Help MVP named
Rob Chandler. (Rob lives in Australia)
You can download a trial version of FAR from the FAR page.

Search and replace string formatting
Hi,
I am trying to do a search and replace formatting of a string.
In the example I am looking for string "PASSED" but it must also start with usbflash and some number + PASSED.
I can't get the format to have a number from 1-99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I have tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].
Solved!
Go to Solution.Right click on the Search And Replace String function. There is an option to use Regular Expressions. Then give this a try.
EDIT: You will need to set the Replace All input to TRUE.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Search and Replace String throwing the wrong error message with regexp?
This came up in a LAVA thread, and I'm not sure if there's a bug here or not. When using Search and Replace string, and using a regular expression of [(G[b|i])], LabVIEW throws error -4622, "There is an unmatched parenthesis in a regular expression." There are obviously no unmatched parenthesis in that expression, so it seems to me that the wrong error is being thrown. I'm just not sure if that's a syntactically valid regexp. The problem seems to be with nesting [ ]'s inside ( )'s inside [ ]'s. I've tried a couple of regexp resources on the Web, and one suggests it's valid, while the other seems to think it isn't.

I think your regexp is invalid.
In regexps, brackets are not the same as parentheses. Parens are for grouping, while brackets are for matching one of a class of characters. Brackets can not be nested.
If the regexp is replaced with [G[bi]], there is no error, so it's not a matter of nested brackets. I couldn't find anything on the PCRE man page that forbids nested brackets specifically, but it makes sense.
Your expression "[(G[bi])]", therefore parses as a character class which matches '(', 'G', '[', 'b', or 'i' followed by an unmatched paren, and an unmatched bracket.
I don't believe that's the case. Replace the regexp with [(Gbi)], and the error goes away. So it's not a matter of the '(' being literal, and then encountering a ')' without a matching '('.
daveTW wrote:
what string exactly you want to replace? I think the round braces are not right in this case, since they mark partial matches which are given back by "match regular expression". But you don't want to extract parts of the string, you want to replace them (or delete, with empty <replace string>). So if you leave the outer [( ... )] then your RegEx means all strings with either "Gb" or "Gi".
It's not my regular expression. A poster at LAVA was having problems with one of his (a truly frightening one), and this seemed to be the element that was causing the problem. I'm pretty sure that the originator of the regexp meant to use G(b|i), which seems like a complicated way of matching "Gb" or "Gi", if you ask me. -
Search and replace string function
Hello, I am using the "search and replace string" function and it does nt seem to work consistently for me. I am using it in a situation where I am taking an array of strings, converting this into a spreadsheet string then deleting all of the commas. Has anyone experienced the same behavior? I have searched through other posts and found other simular faults but none of the fixes worked for this. I can post the code it needed.
Thanks,
AndrewI agree that commas are often not desirable, especially if your software should also work in countries where comma is used as a decimal seperator.
Where are the commas coming from? Does (1) each element of the original array have one (or more), do you (2) use comma as seperator if you convert it to a spreadhseet string?
For (1), you might just strip out the comma for each element right in the loop. For case (2) you would simply use a different separator to begin with, of course.
Btw: you are abusing a WHILE loop as a FOR loop, because you have a fixed number of iterations. Please replace it with a FOR loop. If you use a FOR loop, LabVIEW can manage memory much more efficiently, because it can allocate the entire output array before the loop starts. For While loops, the total number of iterations is not known to the compiler. (Of course a real program would also stop the loop if an error occurs. In this case you would need to stay woth the WHILE loop. )
Do you have a simple example how the raw array elements look like. How many commas are there?

How can I search and replace fonts?
iOS 7 doesn't support the Adobe workhorse fonts I've most relied on for years, and arbitrarily changes them to iOS built-in fonts when I link my standard documents and templates to the iPhone, via iCloud. There's no apparent logic to how it does this; a Pages document in Minion Pro, a serif font, gets changed to the sans-serif Helvetica. Myriad Pro may come out in Times New Roman. I accept that the iPhone's limited number of fonts makes translation necessary, but does Pages offer a way in which I can search and replace inappropriately substituted fonts for more logical alternatives?
You noticed the first one yourself: the Found item list seems to randomly jump around the document -- I believe you are correct in your observation it may be due to the object construction order. That tells me, by the way, something about your lot numbers that tou didn't mention: your text is not one continuous long threaded story, but it's all or partially in disconnected etxt frames. The Found list does return everything inside a single story in the correct order, but it goes over each separate story in the order they were constructed.
The only solution is to gather all of your lot numbers, *re-sort* them according to the page number they appear on (and some sort of Worst Case Scenario is when you might have more than one lot number frame per page; in that case you also need to sort by textframe, top to bottom -- yet even worse is if you also may have these textframes side by side!).
Only then you have a reliable counting order.
This isn't too bad. We can just extend the method I offered for sorting top-to-bottom/left-to-right in Re: Working around the frame selection order issue in CS 4 and make it also include page numbers:
function byPageYX(a,b) {
var
aP = a.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.index,
bP = b.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.index,
aY = a.baseline[0],
bY = b.baseline[0],
aX = a.horizontalOffset[1],
bX = b.horizontalOffset[1],
dP = aP-bP,
dy = aY-bY,
dx = aX-bX;
return dP?dP:(dy?dy:dx);
myResults.sort(byPageYX);
Or something like that.
As for actually implementing the above I cannot be of any help with Applescript.
Once we're dealing with sorting I think you're much better off in Javascript anyhow.
