Replace Dialog Box

Searches for a specified text string in the current data file and allows you to replace occurrences of the string with a replacement string. Type the string you want to find in the Find What edit box and the replacement string in the Replace With edit box. Select the Find button to search the specified range of articles.

If the Search Range contains multiple articles (not Current Article), Personal Knowbase first searches the range for the articles containing the Find What string and displays the article titles in the Index Window's Titles column. You may also specify a date range to restrict the results.

Then each article in the range is displayed in an Article Window, and you are given the option of replacing each occurrence of the string. As each article is finished and closed, it is saved to the data file.

As each occurrence of the Find What string is highlighted, you may either:

•	Select the Find button to proceed to the next occurrence without replacing the string.

•	Select the Replace button to replace the highlighted string with the Replace With string and then proceed to the next occurrence.

•	Select Close to abort the replace process.

This dialog box is displayed when you select the Replace Command (Edit Menu). To find a specified text string without replacing it, use the Find Command (Edit Menu).

Find What

Type the text string that you want to replace in your data file.

Replace With

Type the text string which you want to replace the string which you typed in the Find What edit box. This is the replacement string.

Dates

A date in the from box limits your results to articles dated on or after that date. A date in the to box limits your results to articles dated on or before that date. The dates are not available if the Search Range is Current Article.

Search Range

Select which articles to search for the Find What string:

•	If All Articles is selected, all articles in the current data file are searched.

•	If Bookmarked Articles is selected, only the currently bookmarked articles in the data file are searched. This option is only available if there are bookmarked articles.

•	If Selected Articles is selected, only the articles currently listed in the Titles column of the Index Window are searched. This option is only available if at least one title is listed.

•	If Current Article is selected, only the currently displayed article is searched. This option is only available if the current window is an Article Window.

If the current window is the Index Window, the default Search Range is All Articles. If the current window is an Article Window, the default Search Range is Current Article.

•	If Article & Title Text is selected, Personal Knowbase searches in the title and content text of each specified article.

•	If Title Text Only is selected, Personal Knowbase searches only in the title text of each specified article.
