Thanks Nancy. This is replacing one string with no variables. For instance data-lightbox=" with data-lightbox="new data" My search needs to encompass lots of different variables between " and " For example: data-lightbox="Sunrise @29.jpg" data-lightbox="Sunrise-1.jpg" data-lightbox="StAsunset.jpg" I have hundreds of different file names in many directories and all need to be changed to one value. data-lightbox="New Name" So my search need to be able to find data-lightbox="Any character" Or am I wrong Nancy in how advanced works? ...

Thanks Jon that did help a lot. Very good article. However, perhaps I'm being stupid. I can't get it to look at data-lightbox="Sunrise-1.jpg" The search stops at data-lightbox="S while I need it to go all the way to the end (") or even the last .jpg I've tried different combinations, the last one being data-lightbox="[\w] and data-lightbox="[\w]JPG> ...

Hi Joe. I don't usually use resmon as Task Manager is easier to load and usually gives the relevant info. However resmon isn't showing a problem. RAM access is 42% and disk at 1%. The only issue I've found is my photo drive (E) is being accessed at 100% when LR is loading. Don't know if this normal and why so much access. After all the small photos in LR library are only representations of the larger crt file.   I didn't check the AV but all scans etc are scheduled for 2am.   *What kind of previews is LrC creating* I'm not sure how to check that. ...

Few, a few answers to give. Thanks for your support Alex and David. I'm on Windows 10 business. I have 4 main drives in my PC. I'm a computer engineer and built this one, yes a few years ago. An 2.5GB for my OS only.(SS) A 3TB for most working programs.(HD) A 2TB for photos.(HD) A 2TB for backup of all personal and program data.(HD) All the drivers are 10,000rpm with 16mb cache.   I haven't upgraded the graphics driver as I  think it has issues and don't like the new one's performance, but it is the second to latest, I think, but I will now check. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 ain't the latest but I think it should be ok for photos as it was designed for gamers. I tweeked the low voltage to help with cooling (AIR). Which is a problem due to the CPU, which is Intel(R) i7-6700K @ 4.00 Ghz. Logic 8. This should be way fast enough for LR. 16mb RAM I do run Mysql for an onboard Internet Server for off site backups, but this normally runs a night and not when I'm working.   David this is just an email program, so only runs for seconds every 15 minutes. The Cat is stored on my 3TB drive of which 2.44 is free so no issue. As above Dave, I've lowered some operating voltages because of the temperature. Even with 2 chassi fans and 1 processor fan.   Alex the graphics processor in LR was on auto. Now changed to off.   Hope this info is of use. ... View more

Yes, it's been a while Johan this is anything but a 'very basic printer'. I originally got it for printing photos and paid a fair bit for it, hoping to save on print cost. Anyway, after leaving this issue along for ages due to other stuff going on, I'm up for trying to fix it again. I went through many things with HP support and they proved the printer works as it should. I've printed from other software and they seem to work as they should, I've replaced the inks with HP ones. (Not cheap) I've removed and reinstalled the printer, including the lates driver and software. Still all of this was fruitless. It's definitly a Lightroom issue. I'm ready.................. ...
