Question

Searching all files in a project Robohelp 2019.0.8

How can I search all files in a RH 2019.0.8 project at the project level? I need to find all instances of the registered trademark symbol and the trademarked symbol in 20+ projects, w/ each project having multiple files and I don't want to search one file at a time in each project. I have tried to find the Find/Replace option from a menu and cannot and the Control + F option, even when used at the project level, makes me choose from the list of files in the project before I can search.

    Thanks All. I had to upgrade for different reasons anyway, so now I have the Search feature that I need. Much appreciated.

    Yes, as Amebr said, this functionality has been added in Update 9. It is working quite well. You'll have to play around with the different filter options a bit to find exactly what you search. Also, you have to search first before "replace" will become active.

    This is functionality I believe has been added in Update 9, although I haven't tried it yet myself.

     

    For Update 8, if you can't update for some reason, you'll need to use a third party tool like Notepad++ or FAR HTML.
