Problem Pasting into Find/Replace in DW8

I am using DW 8, working thru a training book and when I do
the steps of the exercise for copy, then use Find/Replace and paste
what was copied. So I have a file open in Split view, I click on an
image in the Design view... tool highlights the html in Code View,
I right click and copy, then Ctl-F to bring up Find/Replace. When I
try to paste, it brings up a pop-up window about Image Description-
Alt text (I had copied an img src statement that didn't have any
alt text) rather than doing a paste of the text I had copied. I am
getting to paste via the Edit menu option since right click doesn't
give me an enabled paste option to choose. I'm sure this is due to
'user error' but can't figure what I'm doing wrong since I am
following the steps described in the training manual. Thanks for
any suggestions!

Need Help With Find/Replace In DW8

I need to know how to Find/Replace for more than one tag at a
time (I.E--Search for <table>, <tr>, and <td> or
<b> and </b> and remove the code) As it is right now,
it will only search for one tag at a time but I would assume DW can
handle this kind of thing.
Also, I've noticed that since my table tags each have
different attributes in each one, searching for <table> will
not get rid of those table tags...it doesn't even recognize that
they're there. How do I find and replace all table tags even though
each one has different attributes?
Thanks in advance.

Cannot Copy/Paste into Find and Replace

Help! I used to be able to do this, but now I cannot seem to
copy/paste source code into the Find and Replace dialog box. I am
stumped as to why this is a problem. I am running Dreamweaver MX
2004 (educational version). I would appreciate any help!!!

Limitations when pasting into the replace field when search and replacing?

Hi,
I seem to be unable to paste ALL of the code from my pasteboard when searching and replacing, is there a way to increase the characters?
Thank you.

Replacing 500 lines of code is not possible with Find and Replace. The underlying functionality relies on JavaScript. Cramming 500 lines of code into a JavaScript replace command is likely to give Dreamweaver the screaming heebie-jeebies.
What I suggest you do is to use the Find and Replace dialog box to find what you want to delete, and replace it with something immediately recognizable, such as:
PASTE HERE
You can insert new lines in the Replace field by holding down the Shift key and pressing Enter/Return.
Then locate the placeholder, and paste in your 500 lines of code.

Mass find / replace

I'm having a problem with mass find / replace : files with
other extensions aren't reached by the very useful find/replace
tool. I'm positive of this as if I rename the extension and simply
add ".txt" at the end, it's searched.
I'm using ".ini" files in my projects and I tried in "Edit"
> "Preferences", section "File Types / Editors" both adding the
extension in the bottom list adding the extension then assigning
Dreamweaver as the editor AND, more simply, adding at the top "Open
in code view".
It seems to me an application that has been thoroughly made
like Dreamweaver would be able to search unknown file types and I
just didn't see the option for it, would someone please give me a
lead on this ?

I'm sorry; :-(

Use Find-Replace to paste/wrap Element name?

Hi:
For FrameMaker 7.2, structured.
I'm a longtime *unstructured* FrameMaker who is performing cleanup on some structured FrameMaker documents created by my customer.
One of my tasks is to find all Index markers and applying the IndexMarker element (square-cornered) tag to the markers.
I'm currently using the tedious and slow technique of using Find to locate and select the Index tag, then in the Element catalog clicking "IndexMarker" followed by "Wrap".
I've poked around hoping I could find Copy Special / Paste Special choices that would speed this mousing-intensive chore up, but haven't found any such choices that work.
So -- is there some "intelligent" way to Find / Replace my way through this problem? Even if I manually have to click Replace at every instance, it's faster than what I'm doing...
Cheers & thanks,
Riley

Riley,
As much as I appreciate the unsolicited endorsements, I have to clarify that FrameSLT cannot help you with this task. It can do lots of things associated with structural management, but all of its current capabilities are dependent upon existing structure. More specifically, it requires existing structure to find the items for which it intends to manage, which your current markers do not have. So, while it can do things like element wrapping, it wouldn't be able to find the unstructured markers in order to wrap them.
This would be a reasonably simple task for a custom API client or FrameScript script. If you have zillions of these to do, it might be worth your while to explore that option. If not, Gary's suggestion might be your best bet.

Find & Replace problem

I have a number in a cell formula. When I search for the number with Find, it is not found. I opened the Find & Replace window and select Formulas Only and the number is found. When I select Entire Document the number is only found if the formula is open on the sheet. I would think that Entire Document would include formulas, even if they aren't open at the time. Anyone else had this problem or know a solution? I am using v2.0.3(332).

I think it is Entire Document as opposed to Current Sheet Only, neither of which look in formulas. What you are wanting is a separate setting for Exclude Formulas, Include Formulas, or Formulas Only. That sounds like it would be useful. If you would like to suggest this to Apple, in the Numbers menu is a selection for Provide Numbers Feedback.

Having problems pasting Visio 2013 Drawings into Word 2013

Hello I am having issues pasting Visio 2013 drawings into Word 2013. For some reason when I select and copy the visio drawing into Word 2013, a portion of the drawing is cut-off and I cannot resize it to fit the entire drawing. I can double-click the drawing
but it only gets me back into Visio. I just want the entire drawing to show up correctly when I paste into Word. Never had this problem with previous versions! Please help!!!

Hi,
Could you please tell us how do you past Visio 2013 drawings into Word 2013?
Generally, we can select the entire drawing by pressing Ctrl + A, then copy the entire drawing.
Or we can insert Visio 2013 drawings into Word by Insert > Object > Create from File.
Note: Make sure tick the option of Link to file.
Feel free to post back.

Problem with copy/paste into WYSIWYG field?

In using Robo HTML X5 my helpfile design is a simple one, but
one issue is stumping me.
-From the TOC tab I will create a new topic, and then edit
the WYSIWYG field on the right, insert graphics, etc. But if I cut
and paste from Word 2003 into the WYSIWYG topic field, all
formatting like bold letting is stripped out, along with graphics.
The graphics have to be cut and pasted individually and I manually
have to reformat the text.
Does anyone know why a copy/paste into the WYSIWYG field is
being stripped of formatting somehow? Is there simple project
setting somewhere?

Hi reiver12367 and welcome to our community
Trust me on this. Mixing Word and RoboHelp HTML are like
mixing oil and water. You really don't want to go down any road
where formatting is maintained during a copy/paste operation.
You might see better results by right clicking the folder
(inside RoboHelp HTML) where you want the topic to be, then
selecting Import. From there, choose the Word document file type
from the drop-down on the bottom of the dialog, navigate to and
choose your Word document. You will have a couple of dialogs to
deal with and the stuff should import in.
Personally, I even avoid going that route if I can. I instead
opt for saving the Word document as pure ASCII text. Then creating
a new topic and copy/pasting the text into the topic. From there I
format as needed.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Batch code for running a find/replace all on multiple files within a source floder/directory

What I need is a Batch source code that will open all files in a folder/directory and run a find and replace_all query within them and then save all the files. The files were created in Illustrator and saved using the Scene7 FXG format extension.    These files will be uploaded into Scene7 as a group after the find and replace macro/query is run on the code. The same find and replace query will be the same for all the files. Basically this function or batch process will save time in setting the same parameters all at one time instead of having to set the parameters individually in scene7.
a source code sample of the find/replace module macro might be              searchString: s7:colorvalue="#FFFFFFFF"
                                                                                                                      replaceString: s7:colorValue="#&txtclr;"
                                                                                                                      searchWhat   "FXG document"
                                                                                                                         searchSource: true,

I have no problems creating batch files within Ai and PhotoShop but I have limited programming skills in how to create source code for manuipulating documents outside of those apps or in a OS invironment.
I could probably come up witha simple program to do what i want for one document but i get lost when dealing with multiple documents in a source folder (prolbem is, I will be dealing with thousands of documents not 100 or less)

Find/Replace - multiple replace ... maybe with regex

Hello Dreamweaver community ... I'm relatively new to using Dreamweaver as an editor and I'm working on a large migration project that I'm trying to make easier. Basically, I'm converting an entire site from English to Spanish ... almost literally tag by tag
Something that would make my job a lot easier is if ... every time I open a new Spanish language content file I could ...
replace ALL Spanish language grammar symbols, accents, tildes etc ... with their HTML equivalents ... for example ...
á = á
é = é
í = í
And so on ... there's about 10-12 major changes ...
What I need to figure out is how to save a find/replace query in Dreamweaver .dwr format that replaces all symbols at once instead of needing to do them one at a time ...
Seems like this shoudl be possible but I haven't figured out the right syntax ... I used the (.+) and $1 but it only worked conditionally - in the order the replacements were written. I need it to find ALL instances of a spanish symbol and replace it with its corresponding html ...
Can anyone help me with this ...?
Thank you in advance ...

This is in fact the only solution I found to this problem.
Creating an extension is not that difficult once you have the right
reference material.
Have a look at:

As far as i know, no it's not possible.
There has been mentions in the past to this question that a
series of
find/replace queries could be built as a dw extension instead
of a saved
search query.

What do you enter for a Carriage Return in Find&Replace?

I'm using TextEdit to find and replace all instances of a string in an exported .txt with Carriage Returns (CRs). Only, I can't figure what to press in the 'Replace with:' field to tell TextEdit that I want the CR to go in there. Obviously, if I just press Enter, it will just Find then next occurrence of the 'Find' string.
Any tips?
What I have been doing as a clumsy work-around is type a CR in the .txt file, and then copy-paste in into the 'Replace with:' field. Only I thought maybe there's a cleverer way of doing it.

I don't know of a better way to initially set up the Carriage Return in the "Replace with:" field. However once you have done that, you can get it back from the drop-down list associated with that field (it will appear there as a blank line).

Find & Replace window missing in Toolkit CS5

Hello--
I just started using Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5 after installing Photoshop CS5, and ran into a strange problem: the Find & Replace menu option and key command do not function correctly, in that I cannot access Find at all. The Find / Find Results window does not appear, and I cannot get the window to appear by selecting the option in the Windows tool menu either. This works just fine in Toolkit CS4, and is very frustrating to deal with as I am trying to update my scripts to CS5, but have to do so in the CS4 Toolkit because I can't use the Find functionality.
I've already searched the forums and google high and low for this problem, but no else seems to have posted about it. I've already tried restarting and uninstalling / installing CS5 and all related tools. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Thanks! Looking in the preferences led me to the answer to the problem: I opened up the XML file and found that findAndReplace was put in an odd TabPane for some reason:
        <TabGroup5>
          <activeChild>findAndReplace</activeChild>
          <parentName>Tabpane13</parentName>
          <visible>false</visible>
        </TabGroup5>
I changed the parentName to Tabpane0 and the window appears now. Much obliged!
