Question

Global Find-Replace for HTML etc

Hi all,

The find-replace functionality in RH seems limited. Is there a way I can do a global find-replace, which will scan all my topics (or selected topics) to find and replace particular elements or html code?

Just picked up you were talking about the ordinary find and replace, not the multi file find and replace tool you will find in Tools. The multi file find and replace tool should do what you want but has the limitations that I described above.

The main limitation is that like many search and replace tools, it works on single lines and often what you are looking for spans more than one line.

BKReplaceEm is free. My preference is FAR from http://www.helpware.net/FAR. Long trial and does much more than find and replace. Much nicer interface.
