Trouble with find/replace

brentonjm · Post by **brentonjm** » Wed Sep 22, 2004 8:32 pm

I'm trying to do a replace in all open documents:

Search string: "Version: 1.0" (5 spaces between : and 1)
Replace with: "Version: 2.0"

TextPad will find this string in a search but when I try to do a replace either in the current document or all open documents, it says it can't find the literal string. I'm using version 4.7.3. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've tried with no problem. - Can you post one of the documents?

Works OK for me, doing Replace All, and Replace Next.

Conditions = Text, vs. Hex.

With and without Regular Expressions checked.

Are you using Scope=Active document?

Shoot! Stupid mistake. I use VSS and didn't have the files checked out, so they were read-only. I'd think TextPad would tell me the files are read-only rather than "can't find literal string." Anyway, after checking them out, it works fine.

Thanks for the response,
