Question

Find all topics that contain specific content

The Find feature in Robohelp for html seems to only be able to find topics that contain the find criteria in the title of the topic. Can I do a Find that will access all the topics that contain a character, like a quotation mark, within the body of the topic?

I use the multi-file find and replace tool in the toolbox. If you are using RH 7 and do not see the tools tab, you will have to choose View>Pods>Toolbox to see this one. I generally switch the "named" file type to html since I'm usually concerned w/ the body of a topic.

Warning: If you work with multiple projects, be sure to update the "Where" path because it always uses the previous path that this feature was used.

Hi all

Personally I think we need to clarify whether COHAN3 is talking about looking through source content or compiled/generated content. Certainly the utility you mentioned would work for the source files, but it would fail on compiled/generated content.

I am indeed referring to source files and will try the multi-file find feature. Thanx!
