Is there a current function to allow a user to replace all instances of a word with another throughout a topic, article, or the entire realm?
My apologies if I am posting in the wrong place, or if this is a redundant post. |

No, I don't believe so, but I'll kick myself if the feature exists and I've been missing it all this time.

If you change a topic's name the system will prompt you to go to every topic that links to that topic and fix the names. Other than that I don't know of any bulk search and replace features.

Well, thanks for the input. I'll see if there is a request for this feature yet, and throw in my input or new request as needed. Thank you!

If needed I can also expand it to run through a list of linked topics/articles (e.g. set up a User Note page where each line is linked to a Topic you want to parse and do search/replace for each snippet). |

I'll now selling tickets to see @MNBlockHead kicking himself. Hurry, they're going fast!!
It's limited to an entire topic or article, but there is definitely a Find, as well as a Replace. This includes Replace All. When in Edit mode of a topic/article, look at the Format ribbon at the top. There is an Editing section that contains both a Find and a Replace button. These operations are tied to the standard <ctrl+F> and <ctrl+H> keyboard shortcuts that Microsoft Word uses. Within the Replace option, there is a Replace All option. It works quite well! Hurry! Tickets going fast! See @MNBlockHead kick himself! |

Man...that's what I get for not double-checking before posting.
So, uh, I kicked the heck out of myself, not realizing that tickets were being sold. But fear not, a re-enactment was filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZb7MVwctug RW Project: Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition homebrew world Other Tools: CampaignCartographer, Cityographer, Dungeonographer, Evernote |
