Replace contractions using FindChangeByList

Yet another possibility is that the space in I am isn't a plain space but e.g. a non-breaking one. To get around that, use a GREP replacement rather than a Text replacement, using a catch-all for the space:

grep {find what:"I\\ham"}

where \h stands for 'horizontal space', that is, any space.

I think you need to ESCape the apostrophe:

"I\'m"

text {find what:"I am"} {change to:"I'm"} works for me. Make sure that there is a tabulator between items of a line in the FindChangeList.txt. I always copy a line FindChangeList.txt and modify it.

text {find what:"I am"} {change to:"I'm"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}

Do you have each section separated by a tab character?

It's tab delimited I think, make sure there's no spaces.
