How do I do a inteliigent "find and replace" operation?
"MegaC" <dmegyesi[ at ]rogers.com> 02.03.2006 19:12:49
Hi All,

I need to do a inteliigent "find and replace". How do I have MS Word
do a search and replace using the following rule:

Find the word Test ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and
replace it with a constant word.

eg.

Here are three lines of text
Test ID (723) - Success Path - CLI Configure Acct-Interim-Interval
(AII) Timer
Test ID (724) - Success Path - Session Release - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC
termination of a call
Test ID (725) - Success Path - Session Cancelled - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC
call session is cancelled by originator prior to successful set-up

What I want to do is do a search that reads "replace all occurances of
TEST ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with the
word 'Not applicible".

Please help!
Derek

Check "Use Wildcards"
Find "Test ID*^13" (without the quotes)
Replace with "Not applicable^p" (without the quotes)
Hit "Replace All"

Enjoy,
Tony
