Tools Preview - The Find & Replace tool

Selecting design elements
As soon as you select a database, the Find & Replace tool will scan the database and find design elements for selection.

The design elements are presented in a tree-view.

The numbers in brackets indicate how many design elements of that particular type that was found.

By clicking the checkbox next to a design element type, all design elements of that type will automatically be selected.


You may continue to select/deselect as many design elements as you want to search.
The application will always tell you how many design elements are available for selection (114 in the example) and how many design elements that is currently selected (2 in the example).

Launching the search tool
When one or more design elements are selected, the "Find & Replace" button becomes enabled. By clicking it, the actual Find & Replace tool will launch.

To close this screen, click either the "x" icon or the "Save all changes" button.

Using the search tool
The screenshot below shows an example where all agents and Script Libraries in a local database has been selected.
The string "Database" has been entered in the "String to find" field and the "Match Case" checkbox has been clicked, then the "Search" button has been clicked.


As you can see, all design elements that contain the search string are highlighted in the left hand tree pane. As you click on the tree elements, the resulting code is displayed on the right hand side preview pane with the found search strings highlighted in yellow.

You can replace all occurances throughout all found elements by clicking the left hand 'Replace All' button, or you can replace individual or all occurances within a specific tree item by using the right hand buttons. You can skip items as desired as well as save. To save changes back to the database simply click the 'Save all changes' button.
